The Extra Ones

Here are the extra ones I did over the weekend ...





This double page layout came about because I had so many pictures showing different quirky bits of Route 66 that it would've taken me a lifetime to scrap them all individually. I used Photoscape to create the photos then cut a few up to fit. I have used different methods to hightlight some of the photos as shown below.




I think this could be my favourite because I've made my own 12x12 by printing one of my own photos onto the paper. This page is so simple but I love the way it turned out.


This photo of my daughter was printed quite large so I didn't want too much on the page. I got told off when I got home because she said "Mum, it wasn't a treasure hunt" - oh well!


The next LO was for the first challenge of the weekend. The photos I had were taken in France and the colours matched perfectly.


"13 already?" is a simple LO (I like simple) but still tells the story.


I love the way this one turned out AND the fabulous prize I won for it too. I layered cropped photos of my daughter and created the cluster at the bottom to follow the sketch. I don't think I'll ever quite understand "sketches" though!



Thank you Rachel for the photography advice, I now also have a whiteboard for the garden!!!!
