BillieJean - of course, this is my very, very favorite subject matter. Your "kitties" are so cute - what a fun page. I like that you chose to vary your framing. Adds a special interest to the photos.

Janice I love your triptych of the Bald Eagle Preserve. Actually your whole layout on that page is really eye-catching.

Scenery photos really lend themselves to the triptych technique. However, I also l like when you take shapes and outline various parts of any photo. So many great techniques to try. Here's a silly one - I took the template and merged all the photo squares so I could clip one photo to all the photo squares at one time.  |

OOPS - Looks like I went off on a tangent here.
Ignore all this - let's see your scraplifts!!

Oh, I really like that one. I am hoping that I can put one together later today.

Janice, your Fish layout is a very graceful arrangement and I would love to 'lift' the idea for future use with your permission.

Michel - please share some of your pages so we can see what you have accomplished. I love the fact that you had the scrapbook printed. It's much more fun to share in printed form  Well, here one of the simplest layouts. Its purpose was to make a contrast between two scenes on the same day (our grandchildren were 350 km away...) Placing several pictures on the same page is always a challenge as to how to frame and size each photo. Do I put a white frame? a drop shadow? Do I 'stroke' a thin frame? Do I 'fade' the sides of the picture? Do I use the same size? Do I overlap? Do I rotate? Do I use a photo 'full bleed' as the background or do I leave a coloured margin? Do I add a gradient or a texture to the background? Do I choose a color for the background in relation to the colours present in the image? My idea was that simplicity would be the solution. A big image for the main image with amusing details, small images for the three ones describing each an action, without any framing, and a classical look for the 'far away' pictures of the children, with white frame and drop shadow. A thin stroke and a clear grey taken from the image itself. That's my story of that special day. |

Michel - excellent story telling. Outlining the corner photo was a good choice. Your text stands out and is easily read because you've chosen plain areas to put it. I like the 3 photos across the bottom.

Very interesting page Michel. Your album should make good reading/viewing/memories for the family in years to come. Nice inset of the grandchildren.
