Water Babies - Multi Photo Layout

-


O.K. so I've spoken before about how when I'm deciding on a layout I'll pull out lots of papers and then go with my favourite. Above are all the papers and vellums I considered for this layout: "Water Babies". In the end I discarded all of the patterned papers and just used two vellums for my title as the beads I knew I wanted to use would get lost in a patterned paper. I chose the vellums for the wishy washy effect and they match the photos so well.

I used one page from my album as my background (plain white). I then stamped a blue green autumn leaves stamps onto this between each of the photos. I then added beads all around the edge by stitching them onto the layout. These were from my jewellery making collection and the string cost me $.80c. My title was created using my fiskars stencils and were cut from vellum. The bikini's were actually made using a sizzix at my LSS at the evening I went to recently using off cuts of paper. The only costly item for this page is the little mermaid. She is a handmade embellishment (Paper Piecings Handmade by Sam) and very pricey for me at $3.90. You could do the same layout easily without her but I loved her and thought she was so cute.

In the past I have always preferred multi photo layouts, mainly because I have so many photos of an event. I have been exploring the single photo layouts a bit lately so I can explore my more creative streak but here I had a heap of photos from our spring holiday last year and I thought they all should go on the layout. So here is a multi photo layout. (Excuse my bikini clad whiteness)....LOL

So here is the completed layout:

Cardstock only Layouts

-

After looking at the cost of a layout I'm going to challenge myself to do some cardstock only layouts (not for my wedding though). Do you think you could manage it? Well I'm not sure but I'm gonna give it a go. But it does get a little ridiculous the costs, con't you think? So I'm going to challenge myself to do a layout using cardstock and patterned paper only! Of course not having a cricuit or sizzix or anything this will mean hand cutting my title....... painstaking... BUT I think it'll be a challenge artistically too. These layouts were done by Deb of Toowoomba and you can see how she's used her paper and cardstock to acentuate her photo's theme.... I especially love the dolphin! When I went to a scrapbook evening recently one of the ladies did a fabulous layout using paper piecing. She made Dora the Explorer layous and her 'dora' was fantastic. I don't think I have that much patience but punching and tearing are right up my alley. Bu...

Coffee Mugs are Finished

Here are the digi scrapped coffee mugs I told you about a few posts back. They're back from the "printer". These were really easy to do. I first created my document that I was digi scrapping and I made the size of the document 4" x 6'" (a standard photo). I then decorated that page using my digital scrapbooking papers and embellishments and finally added the photos. I then went to my local photo lab and uploaded these images to their software and chose to have them printed on mugs. (I chose the stretch option which stretches the image around the mug. So then I had to resize the image to get all my decorations on the mug). And here they are! It only took them a week to print them! So if you're thinking of doing this for a christmas present I think you may just get it back in time...... but check with your photo lab to make sure they could get it back to you before Christmas. I'm happy with the result..... hope the recipients will be too?

Digiscrap a PhotoBook when on special!

-

Have you ever wondered what to do with all that beautiful digitally scrapbooked work? Well you could print a photo book. I save all my pages up and then when there's a special on (Like the recent $9.95 for a 19 page book at Big W) I go in and get them printed. This way I have a hard copy of my work to show people and I get the pages printed very cheaply... that's around 52 cents per page. Just remember though the specials are more commonly done for the smaller books 8 x 8 etc. So when doing your layouts keep that in mind.
