February 2026 1-2-3+ Sketch and Layout

    I am so happy to be creating and sharing my 1-2-3+ Sketches and Layouts with you again!

    This month's free 1-2-3+ plus sketch uses just one piece of double sided designer paper, two base pages of your choice and is made with three cuts to create a quick two-page layout. Then if you want to level up your layout, you have the option of following the +Cutting Guide using one additional piece of paper or cardstock to yield photo mats and other decorative borders and shapes! Both versions are easy and versatile, and you can determine which one you create depending on your time, energy level and stash that you are working with!

    I'm using the Your Own Way collection from Creative Memories for all my 2026 1-2-3+ layouts. For this layout I also used Songbird Blue Cardstock for the base pages along with the Tropical Flowers Chain Border Maker Cartridge, Blue and Orange Floral Essential Embellishments, and White Alphabet Embellishments customized with Potter's Clay Memento Ink to coordinate with the papers. Watch the video tutorial below to see how easily this scrapbook layout came together!

    You'll find the current month's 1-2-3+ Download on the Resources page
    but ALL free downloads are available in the 123SWN Free Resources Library, so make sure to become a member today!

    If you love the 1-2-3+ sketches and layouts, make sure to check back every month for a new one!

    Happy Scrapbooking!

    Noreen, I’m really enjoying your 123 scrapbook for the 12 x 12. I’m trying to convert your 6.75 x 10 to 8 1/2 x 11 any possibility you have those numbers that I could convert easily to 8 1/2 x 11? I was a consultant/advisor back in early 2000s and I have a multitude of albums and pages/protectors. Now that I’m into scrapbooking again I find that my new 12 x 12 paper has to be cut to 11 3/8. Also, do you know anyone who could advise me on how to use the 6 x 12 peekaboo’s on the 11 3/8 album page? I’m learning to scrapbook all over again thanks to YouTube. But it certainly is challenging, what a difference 25 years make! Thanks for all the great ideas.
