We’ve got a scrapbook layout with photos only. Ok, if you want to be pedantic … one word has sneaked in, too, lol!
“The sun was shining, the shadows were long, the light was just perfect, and Emily was on her way to visit with the ‘baas’ (sheep, to you and me) in the field opposite Grandma’s house.” Isabella said. “Of course, Daddy was on hand with the camera, too.”
This scrapbook layout is inspired by magazine covers and by this wonderful photograph by Leslie Shewring at ‘a creativeMINT’.
I’d been looking for some color inspiration and saw these gorgeous poppies at Leslie’s blog and suddenly ‘saw’ a scrapbook page with the photo as the focus. (All the photos in the layout are Leslie’s.)
I automatically made this a 12″ x 12″ layout and it wasn’t until working on this post that I realized magazine covers are not square! Oh well …
We published sketch 39 yesterday and here we have a simple layout idea using it. The scrapbook page uses 4 photos overlapping each other and a few embellishments. The title would work well with chipboard letters, and there’s space to spread them across the top.
I often use cardstock for my background rather than scrapbooking paper as I like to journal directly on the card rather than on journaling blocks.
How do you decide what background paper and colors to use? And what photography tip was used for one of the photos? Read on to find out.
Our scrapbooking sketch is late this month due to technical difficulties. However it is here at last and we hope it is useful to you.
It’s a 4-photo layout idea on a layered background, with title, sub title and journaling block.
Use the photos straight as you see them in the sketch, pull them closer together to resemble photos stacked on top of each other, or turn them and they’ll look like you’ve dropped them and they are scattered on the layout.
Now don’t get dizzy as you look at this next section, lol! We’ve turned the layouts as usual, but for some reason it did something funny to my head this time, so be warned! *grin*
