Hello Dear Friends! This is alexandra again and today we're going to take a look at the Hipstamatic pictures on lay-outs.
These pictures are a lot easier to use than one might think. Depending on the effect chosen, they can convey a dream-like state, a sense of innocence or create a bold contrast and really catching the attention...
This page is about the joy of winter. The saturated blues accentuate the idea of cold weather and make a nice contrast with the whimsical banner.
On this page, what would have been common pictures had they been taken with a regular camera actually appear to be magical with that white glare in the middle.
I often feel that Hipstamatic shots are a truer translation of how we remember a moment. For instance, that moment in Paris when we sat at the Jardin du Palais Royal to enjoy an esquisite pastry from Ladurée actually looks like that in my memory!
For the project "2011 in 52 pages" that my co-host Pascale and Virginie are helping me conduct at Scrap Rendez-Vous, I have often mixed Hipstamatic photos with regular pictures...
or even used a photo collage of Hipstamatic shots as the base for my page...
here is another page with a majority of hipstamatic shots...
On this page, I layered several shots on top of each other and attached them with a brad...
I hope this has given you some ideas on how to mix and match hipstamatic shots on your pages. In my next post, we'll see how one can make fun cards using Hipstamatic pictures and I'll also have a very fun new mini to share.
