Technique Tuesday #29 - Vertical Photos!

Welcome to week 29 of 52 Weeks of Technique, Tool and Supply Challenges!  Each Tuesday throughout 2010, I will share a fun technique, tool or supply with you to encourage you to get busy, use your stash, try something new and be creative!

This week we explore creating Vertical Photos!

If you are like me then you have way too many landscape photos.  Sometimes, I have to force myself to take vertical photos.  However, vertical photos are often exactly what the photo opportunity needs, as well as your pages.  So my challenge to you is to change it up and make sure you are taking ample vertical and landscape photos and mix 'em up on your pages.

Here is my take on the challenge:  St. Simon's Lighthouse.   Dh, myself and Angie during our visit to St. Simon's Island.  We walked to the top of the lighthouse on a very HOT summer day!  The views from the top were fantastic.  This was the perfect opportunity for me to take some vertical photos and add them to a page!

This page was created using a wonderful kit given to me by THE SCRAP ROOM a wonderful kit club that features 4 page kits each month!  If you miss getting your Classy Paks you just might enjoy getting kits from THE SCRAP ROOM.

Technique Tuesday #28 - Mix and Match Titles!

Good Afternoon,

Welcome to week 28 of 52 Weeks of Technique, Tool and Supply Challenges!  Each Tuesday throughout 2010, I will share a fun technique, tool or supply with you to encourage you to get busy, use your stash, try something new and be creative!

This week we explore creating Mix and Match Titles!

Sometimes using the same BIG Letters is just too much or too overwhelming for a layout.  In fact to me it gets a bit boring when your title just includes the same fonts, same letters and no variety.  With so many products on the market titles don't have to be boring and can be very jazzy!  All you need to do is mix it up!

Here is my take on the challenge:  Do Not Enter.   Dh, myself and Angie during a visit to Angie's on St. Simon's Island.  We went to Dressler's for breakfast and I thought this sign on the door was hilarious.  Basically, it says Do Not Enter if you see others waiting...we'll be out to serve you when ready.  LOL!  You've got to read it for yourself. 

For this title not only did I use various fonts but various media...stickers, rub ons and Thickers.

This page was created using a wonderful kit given to me by THE SCRAP ROOM a wonderful kit club that features 4 page kits each month!  If you miss getting your Classy Paks you just might enjoy getting kits from THE SCRAP ROOM.  Stay tuned!  Next, week, I'll be featuring more items from the Scrap Room!

Be Inspired.  Make a layout and be sure to use multiple fonts and media!  PLEASE NOTE: TO BE ELIGIBLE YOUR LAYOUT MUST INCLUDE: A title that features multiple fonts and multiple media...sticker letters, rubon letters, die cut letters etc. and must be new as of July 13, 2010! Remember to POST your layout by Monday, July 19, 2010, 11:59pm eastern time here!  It's easy...you can post in your own album, profile, blog or gallery and then just leave a comment and include the link url here. SOMEONE WILL WIN A PRIZE THIS MONTH!

This week we explore creating with METALS!

OK...so I don't know about you but when I first starting scrapping I was completely taken by metal embellishments. I bought brads, eyelets, clips, charms, letters...anything metal!  LOL!  Well I amassed quite a collection and need to make use of it.  So this week, I challenge you to use metal on your layout!

Here is my take on the challenge:  Music at the Park. Dh at Centennial Park during the National Black Arts Fest.  We were listening to a band in the park.  Notice not only brads but the metal suspender hooks, buttons and letters.
