Scrapbooking Made Simple

Here's the final part in the series of Planning a Scrapbooking Layout Enjoy!

I was having a look aroung You Tube .... you'll notice I do that alot... I think its a great place to see what people are doing, have a laugh and even learn something. The best thing about scrapbooking (I think) is the sharing community spirit . If someone has something they think would be valuable to other scrappers they'll make a video and post it. This video is really great cause it talks about one of my favourite topics, how to save on my scrapbooking . Check it out for an instructional " How to create your own Bazzil Brads". I think I'll make mine a bit smaller though. lol

I recently did these layouts of my kids. As you can see I've used multiple photos . I think this is a great way to save on your scrapbooking . Let's face it if I did one layout per photo I'd use alot more supplies than I have here. I love to use multiple photos whenever I can. I really only do a single photo per layout when I'm wanting to produce something of the same artistic value as the layouts featured in the magazines. I also tend to resize alot of the pictures on a common theme and print them on one single photo . (See example) I then cut these out later, and use them on my layouts. This is especially useful if you're scrapping an event such as a wedding or birthday party. This montage of photo's is from my son's birthday and was printed on a standard 5' x 7' photo. This evening I found a great blog which shows lots of examples of multiple photo layouts . So if you're wanting to try this technique, or just looking for new inspiration ...
