Themes, layouts and inspirations
Head on over to Cynthia Runs With Scissors to find out how to use both digital and paper techniques to make this hybrid photo collage monogram. She explains how she created the photo collage in Adobe Photoshop Elements, as well as the best way to print. This method eliminates the need for lots of cutting and piecing together of photos. Finally she shares tips for working with ModPodge to adhere the collage to the paper mache letter.
Andrea used the Fun Times collection from Simple Stories to create this fabulous mini Travel Tag album. She even found a cute tiny plastic suitcase to fit it inside of, decorating the outside with a few chipboard elements and a scalloped border.
The album itself has different siezd and shaped pages, some rectangle, some tag shaped, some with scalloped edges but all stitched around the edges. It’s held together at the top with a metal “O” ring.
The pages have 3″ x 2 1/2″ photos that are accented with metal buttons, vintage cameras, floral and map papers, chipboard embellishments, tabs, labels and travel related designs in fun retro color combinations.
She’s even included some fun interactive pages too for a really cool tiny but mighty album design.
