Great Adventure Digital Scrapbooking Layout Page

Friday, May 22, 2008: Inspired by Graphic Designer Angie Briggs

Homework Assignment #2

The pictures in the layout above are of my son and me at Great Adventure Amusement park in 1975. Dad’s not in the photos, because he took them.

I had these stored in one of those albums with the self-adhesive pages. Sure glad they don’t make those anymore.

When I, ever so carefully, peeled the photos off so I could scan them, little polka dots of color stuck to the album pages.

Dang! When you zoom in close, you can see the lines of dots; but I don’t think they show at a normal resolution. Perhaps the colors would be a little more vibrant if I could glue the dots back on.

I’m sure I have the negatives somewhere. Maybe I’ll find them when we move, ‘cause I’m sure they’re tucked away someplace I considered very safe or where I thought I would remember I put them. LOL!

TFL – that’s Scrap Girls chat talk for “thanks for looking”!

Hawaii 1988 Digital Scrapbooking Layout Page

As I was looking for summer photos to use for session 2 of Katherine Weaver’s Dynamic Stitching class, I came across these from a trip my DH and I made to Hawaii in 1988. It was one of those magical times. The photos were taken the old-fashioned way, so I had to digitize them by scanning.

We drove the Saddle Road across the Big Island; drove all around the Island's perimeter; and explored some of the interior. Every vista seemed more gorgeous than the last. Incredible!

I really wanted to use the pictures in my homework but finally decided they would not be enhanced by lots of cute little stitch work. So I set them aside to play with later.

Usually my layouts take days to complete. I mix and match from different Scrap Girls kits and change the colors on many elements to match my photos.

I did this layout in about two hours and the time just flew. I was that inspired by Angie Briggs’ Scenic Route kit. Everything here except the stacked photo frames by Melissa Renfro is from Angie’s kit and I didn’t change a thing. Oh, I did tone down the black of the filmstrip a little, but I think that’s all.

I think this was the quickest layout I have down and may also be my favorite.

Thank you Angie!
