So many pictures to choose from

3/6/2012

Do you remember your last family vacation? Remember all of the pictures you took? Now, it's time to scrap those memories.  So what do you do when you have 20 or more photos of a single event? A few years ago, my kids and I went to Disney World in Orlando, FL for about 7 days.  Even thought this was our 2nd time going to Disney World, I still took so many pictures. One of the majors for us was that we were selected to be the Grand Marshals of the "Disney Stars and Motor Cars" parade!  That was a major.

Nevertheless, I used an entire role of film on that one event. A photo from just about every angle. I was so excited that I scrapped those photos within 30 of the vacation (any of you who know me personally, know that I am usually a year or 2 behind). I could have created an entire 8.5x11 album of this one event. I ended up with 12 total 12x12 pages of this one event.  Below is how I incorporated all of the good photos from that single event.  I also used the same technique through the entire scrapbook. However for the sake of your time, I will only include the parade.


1.  I chose to use solid cardstock and thinly torn patterned paper only as accents because I wanted all of the focus on the photos.

2.  The yellow and blue was chosen to match the colors of the banner and the car.  The foam stars and Disney punch letters were nice and somewhat subtle.

3. No reason for using the decorative scissor :  )




4.  This page has a total of 7 photos.

5.  See the lower left. I created a photo slide using 1 square brad and fibers. 

6.  See the upper right. I used 4x6 mats and 2 brads for this mini booklet on the page. That mini contains 4 photos.








7. 2 photo slider

8.  I also cut the page protector to allow the readers to slid the photos.




9.  Notice the star cut-out on the bottom right of the first photo. I used a pop dot to raise the star so that it the star could be used to slid the photo.




10.  This page has a total of 8 photographs. The same technique was used as listed above. 

 11.  Thanks for checking out this post.




I would like to see how you use several photos in your layouts.

Scraps of Color "Christmas in July" Blog Hop: Day 1

My Christmas in July 2013 My Pink Journey CHRISTMAS IN JULY: DAY 1 One Sunday night (I guess it was actually early Monday morning) in July, I had a bad case of insomnia and was fooling around on eBay.  I saw that there was a bid on a new Pink Journey Cricut Expression Bundle that was about to end and the price was like 40 bucks. I was like; No way. The Bundle included 3 cartridges; one of which was the Pink Journey Champagne Rose Solution cartridge. So, I bid $56 and won the bid.  That was such a great deal simply because the Pink Journey cartridge sells for about that; at least on eBay.  Below is the layout that I created to commemorate the purchase LAYOUT 1 Solid Cardstock is Recollections Patterned Paper is Stampin Up!

SOC CELEBRATE #8 BLOG HOP: DAY 3

WELCOME BACK to the Scraps of Color Celebrate #8 Blog Hop I've Been Accepted!!    I can remember when my daughter and I were reading about colleges and she told me that she only wanted to go to a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) .  I was thinking, praise God TSU (Tennessee State University) here she comes. DING-DONG-WRONG! She said that she wanted to go to Alabama A&M in Huntsville. Then the prayer wheel started turning. " Lord, you said that you would supply all of our needs according to your riches" and you said that "What things we desire, when we pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them".        Now, she had some struggles in high school and was at best a B- to C+ student . Even though she would study and work hard; she had trouble. School just did not come easy to her; but her common sense and work ethic was ON POINT. Believe that. Nevertheless, Alexis only applied to one school. She had faith that th

SOC Hot Fun in the Summertime Blog Hop

06/22/2012   Summertime Memories and Family      Aahhh, summertime is here. Summer has soooo many fun memories for me. From my earliest memories of playing in the sprinklers at my Madea's row home to picking beans and tomatoes at my granny and granddaddy's home. What is summer without your family? Family vacations, cookouts, pool parties, and decoration day at the family cemetery are the memories we need to preserve . For me its about family and the memories we are making for the next generation. Since I started scrapbooking seriously in 2003, I've become the keeper of the family photos.         What is your earliest summertime memory? Was it eating watermelon on the porch and spitting seeds? Was it a special summertime fling? Was it the first summer that your baby walked for the first time? I would love to know.  Family Fun in the Park.   Page 1 of 2 {Family cookout for my son before he went to college. This was his "Orange and White" party.} I di
