Getting the best layouts for your albums!

Everyone wants to have great pages to put their photos on.  You can sit all day and only come up with a few pages.  You can look at the catalogs and figure out some really cut pages.  You can do the Workshop Your Way - which gives you 3 - 2 page layouts and cards. You can also use the "How-to-books".

I made 3 - 2 page layouts based on the new Volume 3 "Make It From Your Heart".  They give you the cutting guide and 2 examples of what you can make the pages look like.  The group I work with usually wants 4x6 photos landscape and maybe a few 4x4's.  I made some changes and these are the examples.

My sister Sue was over at my house and tried out the layouts and she came up with some great pages.

We both used older paper packets that we had laying around.  I used one called Scholastic and will probably put my grandchildren's first day of school on one page.  When I do I will post it. 

I am holding off on any challenges for now.  I may post them as "techniques" and see if anyone will try them and post their projects.  Pinterest has it's "Nailed it".  Maybe we can have that here. 

September Cards

These are the three cards we are making at church.  The top 2 are the ones we are making at the Portage Public Library. 

The top left is from the cards kit Cats and Bats.  It is a thank you card.  The Happy Halloween also uses the Cats and Bats paper. 

The bottom card is a random stamp using D1742 Constellations .  On the inside is "Happy Birthday" with the stars stamp going through diagonally over the Happy Birthday. 

The top left is from G1140 Workshop your way Kind thoughts.  You get to make 12 cards for $25.95 with shipping and tax.  You will need the Rose embossing folder and some thin cuts.
