Surf Shop Bonus Formula Sketch
The March Bonus Formula creates a well-balanced two-page spread that holds up to fourteen photos. To make the layout, gather five coordinating 12x12 papers from your stash. Follow the trimming instructions on the printable document, then assemble the layout using the sketch above as your guide.
March Bonus Formula Layout - Before Photos
When choosing papers, don't be afraid to mix and match colors from a variety of kits. To recreate my layout, gather the following papers: Surf Shop Wave Print (Paper A), Flourish Lt. Green (B), Mariachi Blue (C), and two Mediterranean Lt. Yellow.
March Bonus Pages - After Photos
On the left page, I rearranged the trimmed pieces a bit differently from the sketch. Since the two nested squares now overlap the wave print, create contrast by flipping the print to the plain white side before adhering to the blue mats.
Dress up the green strip at the top of the page with a sentiment border strip (Surf Shop Page Kit Cutaparts). Carefully trim the sentiment to 1.5" wide so it nests perfectly. A single vertical photo is cropped to fit the stacked squares.
On the right, crop a vertical photo to 3.5x5", and anchor it with the three square panels.
I'm quite happy with how well these pages turned out. What do you think?
