Photography for Scrapbookers | 7 Ways to Create Depth of Field

September 12, 2014 by Francine Clouden

7 ways to create depth of field - Submarines and Sewing Machines

Head on over to Submarines and Sewing Machines with Gemma, to learn 7 ways you can create depth of field in your photos. Depth of field refers to how much of your photo is in focus.

You know those lovely portraits with a creamy, blurry background? Gemma will show a variety of ways to play with this, both in camera and with photo editing, so you can create blurry backgrounds, where only your main subject is in focus. Some of her tips are applicable to phone and compact cameras too, so everyone can play around with this effect.

Great photos make a big difference to your scrapbooking pages, being able to take photos that suit your layout style or scrapbook will save you hours of scrapbooking work.

80’s Inspired Boombox Shaped Mini Album

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more. 

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.

Visit the Artsy Album blog to learn more about this bodacious mini album project.
