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.

Happy Scrappin'
Probably too late to comment (love the layout by the way!) But had some advice if you are using a digital camera. I ALWAYS take the picture 3 times, once horizontal, then quickly turn and snap vertical, and then if i have a second I zoom in! I have even "trained" dh to do this! You have to move fast, but when you sit down to scrap, it helps so much!

There weren't many verticals in my stash to choose from...but this was fun. Thanks for the motivation.
