Hey everyone! Welcome back to 31 Pages in 31 Days! We're on Day Eight of our annual scrapbooking blog series and having a ball getting pages accomplished. If you haven't yet joined our Facebook group, you're missing out on even more inspiration being shared by those playing along with the challenge. Hop to it!
Today's inspiration page comes from the Week Two class packet I just mailed to my Scrapbooking Summer School participants.It's a fun, bright birthday spread that works for ANY age and ANY (almost!) amount of pictures. Simply fill in as many of the photo boxes as you'd like.
PRO TIP: I love doing tag-style headlines–they never go out of style, and they add so much texture and interest to a page. I liberally sprinkled this headline with a "spill" of rhinestones and sequins, and had all the arrows pointing to it as well. Those are small things that go a long way towards helping a headline stand out on a busy page.
If you're following along and want to make this page at home, here's what I used!

I also used two retired Stampin' Up punches on this page–the arrows and the tags. You can sub in any tag punch and plain block-style arrows can be created with any square punch.

I have been scrapbboking 22 years (the year I got married)! My first page was of my honeymoon in Mexico!
Nicely done! I’ve been a scrapper for going on 11 years. My first page was about a vacation I took! Followed by lots of pages about my daughter!
I have been scrapbooking since before my kids were born and my oldest in 21 years old. I enjoy following your blog and love all the bright colors on this page. TFS! and Thank you for the chance to win a great case to keep me organized when I go to the lake to scrapbook.
I have been scrapbooking for 20 years and my first page was of my infant at the time! I still have those pages. Remember those scissors that cut different patterns? All my pages had some sort of fancy cut!
I have been scrapbooking since 1996. My first page was of a concert (Bill Gaither and his many southern gospel friends! on New year’s Eve) These daily pages are Amazing, and I love that some are so simple and beautiful! I also love the matching cards some days!
I started scrapbooking when my oldest daughter was born, 23 years ago! That was also the subject of my first scrapbook page!
I have scrapbooked for 23 years and my first page was a “triangle” page of my son
I started scrapbooking since 1984. I don’t remember my first page but I know the first two albums I made highlighted the first 10 year of our married life, one for each set of grandparents.
I don’t scrap as often as I should. My first real scrapping was of the first vacation that my husband and I took as empty nesters in 2001 – a trip to Ohio. I am going to a crafting retreat in Nov. You have inspired me to take my scrapbooking supplies with me.
Like the bright fun colors! Don’t remember my first page – been over 25 yrs now but one of my faves from at least 10 yrs ago is of my daughter and I at her wedding with an insert in black and white of when I held her as a baby.
And thank your for the scrapbooking paper – can’t believe I won! Have a blessed weekend.
I have only done a few scrapbook pages but my first was my first-born son’s birth and our celebration on becoming his parents.
Such a pretty tool case. I started scrapbooking in 1994. I now do cards.
I have been scrapping for over 20 years….I started when my son was born. I love your tag headline! That is an easy way to create a headline, thanks for that idea.
It’s so weird to say, but I’ve been scrapbooking for 20 years or so, since I was a young teen. My first album covered a summer road trip around Michigan with my grandparents and sister.
I started making 12 x 12 layouts in 1991.. My first would have been doing Chrismas layouts for the family. I then switched to cards once my kids graduated High School. Use to make 500 cards a year from 2010 to 2015 to send to Operation Write Home which shipped overseas to military. personnel for their use. Was sad when that ended I felt so good out the giving.
I have been scrapping since 1996. My first page was of my oldest son, who was a toddler at the time!
I started scrapbooking in 1997. They look funny now, I used a lot of fancy scissors, and only 8 1/2 by 11 wildly patterned pages. Knowing which page I did first is easy for me. I only scrapbook for my children, so it was a page of my youngest son’s 9th birthday.
I tried scrapbooking many years ago and got so discouraged because I was always so far behind on getting my projects finished. So now I make cards! I love getting card ideas from your awesome scrapbooking page layouts!
I kept a scrapbook when I was in 6th grade in 1965, and I still have it! However, modern day scrapbooking started in 1994 and was a trip to California.
My sweet cousin who is like a sister to me came from Macon to visit. She is a fantastic scrapbooker and sewer, etc. She happened to bring a craft for my daughter and me to complete. After 30 minutes of pure misery, I handed my craft back to her. I was thru with it and never wanted to touch another craft item. Today my craft items spread from my craft room into another bedroom and the garage. Needless to say, I am glued to your channel and YouTube in general. You do an amazing job as our demonstrator.
