Make Today Count, a scrapbook layout about celebrating family milestones, by Paula Davis

A Scrapbook Page Idea for documenting milestones using the 'Make Today Count' title from the June Fox Box

Make Today Count: Celebrating 10 Years of Us,

Ten years. A whole decade of shared mornings, late-night conversations, quiet glances, and loud laughter. Today isn’t just another date on the calendar—it’s a milestone, a marker of everything we’ve built together and everything still waiting for us ahead and to celebrate a few days away in Amsterdam.

Layering Techniques to add interest

To create visual interest and depth, a variety of patterned papers & embellishments from the 49 & Market, Vicki Boutin Flower emporium collection are cut and layered behind the photograph.

To further enhance the background, A paper doily and filmstrips were added behind the photo.

Building Balanced Embellishment Clusters

A Camera, Flowers, leaves & butterflies were used to create clusters around the main photo and to complete the layout, a word banner from papersnips #093 and the Title perspective 'Make Today Count' were added.

So here’s to them. To ten years of partnership, friendship, and love. To the laughter and the comfort that feels like home. And most of all, to choosing each other—yesterday, today, and all the days still to come.

Because if the last ten years have taught them anything, it’s this: the little moments matter most. And today, we are choosing to make this one count.

Scrapbooking Inspiration: Celebrating Meaningful MOMENTS

Layouts like this are ideal for documenting milestone events such as weddings, anniversaries, or family gatherings. By focusing on composition and design techniques, it’s possible to highlight not just the occasion—but the relationships and history captured within the image.

Why This Layout Works

This scrapbook layout is effective because it:

• Emphasises a strong central photograph

• Uses layering to create depth without clutter

• Balances embellishments for visual harmony

• Uses the title to reinforce the storytelling theme
