Layout Inspiration: Over sized photos

Product: pattern paper, vellum, chipboard, tag, heart sequins: Crate Paper, "beautiful": Heidi Swapp, gold washi: unknown

Over sized photos = Awesome! This is an 8x12, printed at Costco for $2.50! These photos make a statement on a layout and while you can be limited in what else you can put on your page they draw your eye in and create a focus point for adding your bits & bobs. 

This is Anna's Kindergarten photo and it makes my heart melt every time I look at it. I know that she will go through the awkward phase in school photos- it's inevitable. She will certainly not want me to blow that awkward photo up- that is also inevitable but how great would it be to have an album full of school photos / layouts for the next 12 years! I'll tell you.... it would be so great!

Layout Love

Every Tuesday I hope to share layout(s) with you in this space. It gives me a goal and then encourages me to get into all my product and create. I scrapbook because I love capturing moments and freezing them for another time. I love pattern paper, color & photos and turning them into something beautiful. My hope is that you discover some inspiration here and get your own creative hands busy.

Scrapbooking & Loving It

We had family photos taken this year- instead of balancing my camera on a stand, on a stool and then propped up with a book (tell me you know what I'm talking about) -and I am so happy that we did. The pictures are amazing, the fall colours are beautiful and best of all there was no stress & I didn't have to boss anyone around. I got a few sneaks from Candace and sent them to the printer right away. I needed to see them in print and I needed to scrapbook them. When I was looking through my paper I knew that these papers from We R Memory Keepers were going to be perfect. The colors, the foliage, the pops of gold foil -love it!

Halloween Scrapbooking

I can not say no to Halloween product, it might actually border on obsession. Treasured Memories received this product and I was quick to grab some for myself. I have had these pictures from the Disneyland Halloween party for almost a year and I was excited to finally work with them.

Layout Love Tuesday

Product: all product is from various companies that I put together for the May month kit for Treasured Memories. Check out the kit- The Sweet Life. 

Tip: for this layout I created the arrows using left over letter stickers. For the 'v' portion I cut apart an X and then used a lower case L  for the body.

Layout Love Tuesday

This month I chose and assembled the Month Kit for Treasured Memories. I also designed all the pages that go with it to inspire you. This page was created from the kit product and is one of my favourites. I love the triangles and pictures of palm tress are never a bad idea! Head on over here to view the month kit: The Sweet Life.

These photos make me ache for California. The bright blue sky, the hills, the ocean, the beach, the waves, the pier. Dreamy. I can not even begin to explain to you how much I loved this pelican. He was a photo hog, he modelled for the crowd of tourists like it was his job. I stood there for ever, just staring and hoping he would open his mouth. He never did but I bet I have about 50 pictures of him.
