Single Page Swim Themed Scrapbook Layout Using Printables

Hey Scrappy Friends! How have you all been? Things have been busy as ever over here in my neck of the woods—kids’ sports are definitely keeping us on our toes!

Today I’m excited to share a layout I created from our daughter’s 10 & Under Championship Swim Meet in 2024. She was so thrilled to place high enough to earn a medal—it was such a proud moment for all of us!

For this page, I used a sketch from Scrapbook Generation. I’m not sure whether it was one of their free sketches or a purchased one, so I won’t share it here just to be safe. If you have any tips for keeping track of which sketches are free vs. paid, I’d love to hear how you organize yours!

For my patterned papers, I mixed two collections: the swim-themed line from Simple Stories and the 50 M Freestyle printable collection by Traci Reed.

     Since I don’t have a large-format printer, I got creative and hid the seams of the printable papers behind photos—honestly, you’d never know they weren’t full 12x12 sheets! Mixing printables with traditional paper collections is a great way to stretch both kits even further.

One more tip: keep an eye on your child's team or activity Facebook pages. At swim meets, we’re often seated so far from the action that it's hard to get good photos. Most of the shots I used on this layout actually came from our team’s Facebook page!

Thanks so much for stopping by—I hope you enjoyed seeing how this page came together, along with the little tips sprinkled in. Until next time… stay scrappy!
