Scrapbooking Made Simple

All the layouts I completed are pretty simple and use multi photo layouts. This is the first one. These photos were taken when my son was a baby and going to swimming lessons with his daddy. This is a very cheap layout. The background cardstock came in a bulk pack from the discount store and cost $0.13c a sheet. The bubble vellum was a present from someone so was free. (I used a craft knife and cut out the vellum in the shape of the reeds painted on the back wall). The title "Swim" was cut from blue vellum using my fiskars templates (which I bought in a bulk pack and costed at $0.50c a sheet, though I've only used a tiny bit of one sheet). The other part of the title "Time" is from a sheet of basic grey stickers and is probably the most expensive item on the page. (I think I got this sheet on specia...

We were joined by DD and DS's cousins. I thought this was a lovely bright fresh way to showcase these photos. So far this layout hasn't cost a cent. The kit was free, the photos were digital so the only cost will come in when I print the page. I have found a place that will print all my layouts as a bound book of 20 pages for $50.00Au. Which works out to a cost of $2.50 per page which is actually very good when you consider that I would of spent $1.00 in printing the photos alone. Then consider the cost of your albums and page protectors. Or I can print the layout myself on my home printer. The cost of that is a little difficult to work out though as it will depend on how many page...
