Hey there! Thanks for joining me today and for those of you who posted a comment on yesterday's post I just wanted to say: cilantro tastes like soap and armpits to me. And, boy, a lot of you camp. AND ENJOY IT. How is that even possible? I think that's why houses were built...
hee.
I really enjoyed reading all the fun things you all are doing right now (besides those of you munching on cilantro and camping).
Enough with the joking. Let's get down to business and dive right into today's topic: Beach/Vacation/Stay-cation layouts. I'll start with one from the very talented Beth Proudfoot:
Design tip: Go ahead and use those elements that are already pre-made and pre-cut for you as Beth did to create this layout. Love how she used the tag for her title and the starfish embellishments and waves to add dimension to her page.
Next we have a couple from Jody Wenke:
Journaling tip: Use a favorite quote to create your journaling as well as your title like Jody did. Ingenious, my friend.
Design tip: To make your photos stand out (especially if you're using white cardstock) draw a border on your photos.
And now a few from Celeste Smith:
Journaling tip: Write down what your kids say for your journaling like Celeste did. One of my favorite ways to journal, if I do say so myself.
And one more from Celeste:
Design tip: Even though this is a two page layout, you could easily convert it into a one pager because two page layouts can be a little daunting to some of you sometimes (even for me). I've provided an 11x8.5 sketch of the layout for those of you who might be interested:
And here's a mini accordion album from Kelly Jeppson:
Design tip: Kelly said that she sized all of these photos to a wallet size to create the mini album. This is a quick and easy solution for all those vacation photos that you may have.
I've never done an accordion but I'm going to try one now. Thanks, Kelly!
And here's a layout by me:
Design tip: by creating 12x12 pages, I could just use 4x6 and 6x4 photos without having to cut any of my photos. They fit perfectly.
Journaling tip: I used numbers as a prompt for my journaling. I totally stole this from Laura Kurz, btw.
Here's a closer look at my journaling page:
If you don't want to do a two page layout, you can put your journaling just on the first page by downloading this FREE template. All you have to do is add your photos and change your destination to whatever you'd like.
