Hello, Pretty Little Studio friends!  I'm excited to be on the blog today to share my latest scrapbook layout, Little Bookworm.  My grandson, Hayes, loves books.  I have been buying books for him since he was born, and I would say books are his favorite gift. The PLS collection, Well Read, was ideal for capturing these memories. I love that the color scheme and patterns work well for kids and adults, whether male or female.

I began my layout by cutting a piece of white 12" x 12" cardstock to 11 3/4" x 11 3/4" and backing it with a piece of 12" x 12" cardstock.  Next, I chose my favorite paper, "Books are Magic", cut an 8" x 8" circle with my die-cut machine, and adhered it to the right-center page. I then cut 2 strips of paper, one measuring 11 3/4" x 5" from "Happy Place", and another measuring 11 3/4" x 4" from "The End", and adhered them horizontally across the page. I chose a fun cutfile online that paired nicely with the collection, and backed it with paper pieces from "Book Fair". I found a piece of blue zigzag trim in my collection that made the layout feel more "little boy" to me and added texture.  I adhered the trim below the paper strips and secured it with staples at each end. Lastly, I added great diecuts, stickers, and a journaling block from the collection.  I'm really happy with the final layout.

What hobbies do you or your family enjoy? Have you created a layout to capture those memories? We would love to see what you are creating on your Facebook Fan page.

Have a wonderfully creative day,
