Heidi Grace Meadow range of products are so gorgeous with the beautiful blues and creams, and a great range of stickers and diecuts, which Carole loved to use on her layout. Carole added stitching and pearls, and then added a little cute stamp from the Pink Paislee Range of clear stamps, with some pretty lace, and ribbon.
Nic Howard shows us that a layout can be effective with the same photo repeeated more than once. While one photo could have been added to this layout, the grouping of four gives the effect of 'many' or 'time and time again' which suits the topic of this layout quite nicely! Nic created strip journaling to lead the eye down the layout to the photo. Pink Paislee paper forms the base of this layout with embellishing from Hambly, Crate paper and Heidi Swapp.
When incorporating an intentionally small or dramatically cropped photo the most common urge is to fill the page with more photos or loads of products. While a full page can be a stunning look, Donna wanted to test the theory that a small photo and a little product goes a long way.
Here the small photo, combined with other smaller elements such as Carolee Creations Tiny alphabet stickers and dimensional foam stickers, is given centre stage with enough embellishment to keep even the most discerning scrapbook enthusiast, satisfied.
As seen in For Keeps Creative Paper recently, Caz shows the effect that can be gained from scrapping a photo of your child taken each year. It's sometimes not until you get all these pictures together on the one page that you realise just how much they have changed/stayed the same over time.
Caz printed the circle borders onto her background paper and then mounted each of the small photos on chipboard and added brads and the year the photo was taken.
As scrapbookers we are told that the photo is the emphasis of a page and rightly so - however by using a smaller photo or photos you have the opportunity to play with complimenting product to create interest to a page that might otherwise be overlooked due to a smaller than normal sized photo
Jaimie used a smaller tightly cropped photo of her daughter and then built around it using a variety of product to create a framed effect to showcase the photo adding interest and dimension to her page and allowing her to have an enormous amount of fun at the same time.
Small photos are fun to work with and are perfect to help tell a story on a page. For this layout Mel has used 8 photographs of her daughter unwrapping some Christmas gifts and placed them inside a giant button heart created using BasicGrey Archaic buttons. The buttons were adhered into position using dimensional magic and a large title was added with Ambrosia original mini monogram letters.
