Hey Scrappers, gather ’round for a scrappin’ lesson! Today we’re taking a break from the usual 4×6 grind and focusing on something extra special: proposal magic! ✨ In this Proposal Scrapbook Page Layout.

I have this AMAZING photo of my husband popping the question, and let me tell you, it’s pure perfection. It deserves way more than just the basic treatment. So, what’d I do? I went BIG. Like, a big ol’ WIDE border kind of big.

Except… here’s the thing. Once I slapped on that border, the picture itself felt kinda lonely, swimming in a sea of white. Blah! That’s when the black corner magic happened. Yep, you heard that right. A little black goes a long way, my friends. It adds some POW! and makes the photo the star of the show (just like my husband was that day ).

But wait, there’s more! Because a proposal isn’t just one frozen moment, right? It’s the whole “will you marry me?” shebang! So, I threw in some extra snaps – the ring reveal, my (hopefully) surprised reaction, the whole shebang!

To tie it all together, I cropped those bad boys so they’re all the same height and lined them up in a row. Now it looks like a mini proposal movie right there on the page! Talk about storytelling, am I right?

So, ditch the boring and embrace the bold! Your scrapbook deserves a little pizzazz, just like your memories.

But wait, there’s more! This wasn’t a one-page wonder, oh no. This love story deserved a double spread. A Proposal Scrapbook Page Layout needs two.

So, after I pampered my favorite photo with its fancy wide border and black corner love, I had a whole bunch of other proposal day pics itching to be included. Enter the scrap heaven that is a good old-fashioned collage! ✂️

There’s something undeniably FUN about a collage, right? It’s like throwing a confetti party for your memories! Forget perfectly aligned rows, this is all about a joyful splattering of the moments that made your heart sing.

Here’s my secret weapon for conquering the collage beast: I lay out ALL the photos on the second page like a puzzle. Play around, see what fits where, and don’t be afraid to get a little whimsical.

Now, the cropping part. Here’s the thing: I’m not a fan of the super-cropped look. I like to see the full context of the photo, the background and all. Plus, let’s be honest, a little photo overlap is just plain adorable! It adds a touch of playfulness and shows how all these moments intertwined to create your perfect story.

So, there you have it! Embrace the collage, ditch the cropping OCD, and let your memories take center stage. After all, your scrapbook is a celebration, and a little creative chaos is what makes it truly yours!
