photo size...

looking for a fun & easy way to change things up on your layouts? one perfect solution- vary the size of your photos. with small photos it gives room to maximize the amount of photos used, it lets you play with your creative space & it's a great way to use many photos of the "same subject" without having to create multiple layouts forcing yourself to narrow your photos down.

in this layout i printed all of the photos of my nieces one year photo shoot & printed them in 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" directly from my printer (HP D7360)...cut them all up & just randomly placed them on the layout...added a few strips of paper & a few embellishments & i instantly created a layout showcasing ALL of the photos instead of a whole album full. you can also do this with those cute little "contact sheets" many photo processors include when you get photos printed.

another way to change the mood is by using one LARGE photo. i do this ALL the time- it's one of my favorite layout boosters! many photo developers have caught on to us scrapbookers & they now offer the 8x12 size. LOVE IT! perfect way to make those layouts just pop right out of your albums & grab your loved ones attention!


can't wait to see what you all come up with....
