Sometimes when I'm working on a page, I like to snap picture of my process. And today I decided to share it with you. I love to see the
scrapbooking process of other people too. You can scroll down to see a
completed page.
I started by making a background of two different pieces of paper - together they make 12x12:

Added a piece of
pattern paper to the top portion to cover white space leaving just a white border:

Added another piece of lighter blue paper (not shown) and glued 4 pictures each a little less then 3x6 to white
cardstock:

Added another strip of white
cardstock to hold my 2x2 pictures:

I ordered a 4x6 photo collage (with a design in mind), cut photo into two strips of photos - this way I don't have to worry about cutting them to the exact size (one of my favorite design tips):

and added them to the page:

Another great tip, this one I learned from Becky Higgins - place word stickers on a
ruler before placing them on a page. This way you can see where exactly you want to see them or make sure they are
aligned straight:

When I picked these light grey stickers for my title I knew I needed a dark
background for them to standout, that's when I decided to add a
brown strip of paper. Here is a look at at the finished page:

That was one of those layouts that I had to0 many pictures to share and no specific story. I do have some stories from Canada and will be sharing some of them soon. We came from Canada with over 400 pictures, so you'll see a lot of those.
I like it when you take a picture of the steps. It makes scrapbooking look easier...
ОтветитьУдалитьYes! Totally my style :) I love when there's a strip of smaller pictures, from the biggest to the smallest details. I also have a similar travel themed paper. Have to use it soon now :)being inspired :)
ОтветитьУдалитьP.S. Suzanna's comment - so cute... :)

ОтветитьУдалитьLORA, THIS IS MY STYLE:) I LOVE CLEAN LINE & SOFT COLORS...
AN'KA,ARE YOU DONE WITH THIS WEEK LAYOUT?!
I was so inspired to scrapbook that I thought I'll do twenty pages today. Well, Alena made me go for 6.5 miles - that took some time, plus recovery... Anyway, yes my pictures are being picked along with colors and some other details.
ОтветитьУдалитьHope yours are happening too.
Yelena - I can't wait to see your layouts then :) I'll probably love all of them.
ОтветитьУдалитьAnya - Alena MADE you? :) That's a long... walk? run? Either way, Good job!
