Four Photos: Slow Down

November 23, 2011 By designteam 7 Comments

Hi everyone!

A few weeks ago, we went to a local park/zoo as a family. It was a sunny day and the kids ran around and had fun. By the time we were ready to leave the park, I felt grouchy and tired. I just wanted to get home.

But the kids were still having fun and they took their time walking out of the place. After a few steps, I realized they were falling behind and turned around to tell them to hurry up. What I saw was my six-year-old and my two-year-old holding hands and walking from one corner to another slowly and touching each of the painted footsteps on the ground. They were laughing with so much joy that it melted away my frustration and reminded me that magic of life is in these moments.

So I made a layout to remember and to thank them:

The title reads: Thank you for teaching me to slow down.  You make life worthwhile.

And the journaling says:

On this particular day, I was tired and ready to go back home and frustrated that you two were taking so long. But then I heard all your giggles and turned around to see you were holding hands and touching each dino footprint on the ground and laughing every single time. It’s moments like this that remind me I need to slow down and appreciate life more. Thank you, my boys.

I also wanted to take a moment to highlight something I mentioned a few months ago: I tend to take a lot of photos that show something happening in time. So within five minutes, I will take twenty shots. This is my way of showing motion through pictures. In the photos below, you can see my kids holding hands, stopping to notice a dino print, the little one pointing out another one, and finally, both of them touching it. You can almost feel the passage of time. Having several photos on your layout gives you the advantage of being able to create motion.

Thank you for letting me share my layout. I hope you share your multi-photo layouts with us in the Live Pink gallery!

Four Photos

September 19, 2011 By Danielle 7 Comments

Hello scrapbookers! Are you in the mood to create a layout with many photos today?

I have a “four-photo design” to share with you today. The great thing about this design is that you can use small pictures for this. Maybe you have a whole picture that didn’t come out quite right, but you can use part of the photo. Today’s layout is perfect for that.

I’ve been wanting to document how different my girls are. They are opposite in so many ways. Their personalities are like black and white!

I’m using the Vintage Vogue collection by Pink Paislee today. When I saw these two little ladies from the Vintage Vogue Chipboard Pops, I knew they would be perfect for my page! I layered them and added one of the Spool Buttons and a little flower from the chipboard pops. I used a floral stamp from Papertrey Ink and stamped in a circular pattern to ground the title.
I had this black and white ribbon in my stash and loved how it went with the black and white theme, so I made two loops and added a stick pin, then a Vintage Vogue Paper Rosette over the top.

I added a few strips of patterned paper and two of the Vintage Vogue  ribbons, then printed out journaling to add to the bottom of the layout. The last thing I did was punch out my photos with a 2″ punch by Fiskars and adhered them along the side of the page.

I love the little Vintage Vogue Brad Mix. Here I’ve added a few tiny brads to a large button.

I hope this design inspires you in some way!

Four Photos: Summer Time!!!

May 31, 2011 By Piradee 8 Comments

Hi Everyone, Piradee here to share some summer fun colors using the Hometown Summer Collection!!!  Although its pretty much all year summer over here in Singapore – but you can somewhat feel that summer is starting as all of a sudden the days are getting hotter and hotter and HOTTER (and thank goodness for those rain showers from time to time *wink*).  But it’s this time of the year, that I’m off daydream of fun filled days (where no work is involved) and therefore, couldn’t resist scrapping these pictures from last summer spent down under…

And aren’t those Punchouts from the Hometown Summer Collection super fun to use?  I really love that activity punch card and the little banner there is just perfect for my title – yeap, its one beautiful day!  And oh, how could I not reach for the Chipboard Pops and the glossy finish on these chipboards really add that perfect touch to the layout. 

And to help add the much needed details to the layout, I turned to my new trusted friend – the Cricut  Expression – and using the Accent Essentials Cartridge, I cut the additional suns with the Summer Fun pattern paper and added the baubles from the butterfly garden collection to glitter things up.

Pink Paislee supplies used include:

Thanks again everyone for stopping by and can’t wait to see your inspirations using the Hometown Summer Collection and off to daydream some more…. :)

Visual Symmetry {Using Four Photos}

May 17, 2011 By designteam 3 Comments

When creating a layout, I often feel like my photos need to be in a line, grouped together, achieving a streamlined or symmetrical look.

After I printed out my four photos for this layout, I played around with the positions to see what I liked best.  Originally, I had the photos spaced out with a yellow block of paper (Summer Fun) between each photo.  Once again, I felt like everything needed to be even.  Well when doing that, I had little room for embellishments or extras around the photos.

So I put 3 photos in one corner, and 1 in the other.  I still have my symmetry (3 rectangles on top and 3 on bottom).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Neighborhood Pool paper is the base for my layout.  I used cherry red mist from Maya Road.

I wanted to incorporate this banner from the Hometown Summer border stickers collection somewhere on my layout, and after playing around I decided to cut it up and only use the “day” in my title.  To attach it, I used my sewing machine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cutting apart the watermelon border, I made a fun design on the side of my layout!

To add something fun to the yellow blocks of patterned paper, I used my circle punch to cut shapes from the Fruit Stand paper.  I just love the watermelons!  A perfect accent for any summer layout.  I cut some of the circles apart and left some whole.  On the lower yellow block I sewed a straight line through each whole watermelon shape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For my title, again, I sewed the flags to the paper, added some watermelon shapes from the Fruit Stand paper, the cherry and “summer vacation” are part of the Hometown Summer press-ons.  I finished off my title with Meringue cushies alphabet. I added the little girl with the popsicle, from the chipboard pops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The scorecard punch out shape is so cute.  I used this to write each of the kids names from our zoo trip and made a check under the number innings to indicate how old they were when we went.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using 4 photos on a layout can sometimes seem intimidating.  I like to make my photos 3 x 5.  They are much easier to manipulate into a design.

Have a great week!

Happy Dance: You Can Use Four Photos

April 20, 2011 By Karola 1 Comment

Hello everyone! Karola here with another Lo and another personal fight to get 4 photos into 1 layout. But guess what? I LOVE it!

Until recently I had a lot of difficulties with the creation of multi-photos Lo’s, now I have found that a create with more than one or two pics gave me a lot of fun! Today I have a Lo with pictures of my daughter, captured during a walk in the late winter of this year. Rose loves to dance and so even during every walk we have another chance to see the show made by our little ballerina. This time I have photos of a vertical, so I decided to put them in a one horizontal line – this is the easiest and safe way to arrange several photos into one story.

In today’s Lo I combined the two collections – Butterfly Garden and the Daily Junque. I thought that doilies cut out from Butterfly Garden – Dew Drops paper and glued in many layers, and a few butterflies (biggest from Butterfly Garden – Butterfly Wings paper and small ones from Butterfly Garden – 6×6 Paper Pack) highlight the delicate and girlish theme of this Lo. Additional doilies I created using the fabulous doily clear stamp from the set Butterfly Garden – Impressions Clear Stamps.

Because there are a few darker accents on the pictures like jeans – perfect fit here arrows, which I cut out from the Daily Junque – Junque paper. Title I created using wooden letters - Daily Junque – Wood Alphabet, are fantastic, because we can add color on it in any way to fit as needed. I sprayed the letters by using Glimmer Mist – Tattered Leather, and I added on top of a little bit of pink acrylic paint.

Thank you so much for stopping by Pink Paislee blog today! Have a wonderful day!
