Yesterday's layout class

As promised, here is the layout class from the crop yesterday. I'm looking forward to seeing your versions of the layout in due time

BETH’S CROP - 3^rd MARCH 2007

Layout Class by Jan Palmer

This is a sketch-based layout class designed to be a quick and easy, but effective, way of getting photos into albums.

You will need

One 5 x7 photograph, landscape or portrait

2 sheets of toning/contrasting cardstock

Several pieces of patterned paper – they must be 12 in long, but you can use part-sheets.

Creative Memories square maker if you have one!

Other embellishments you wish to use, but remember the emphasis here is on Quick and Easy!!

Mount your photo onto cardstock and place on the background. Cut 12 in strips from several patterned papers and layer them down the RHS. Cut squares from the patterned paper and place them under the photograph. See if you want to ink the edges of the patterned pieces – I always do! Allowing room at the top for your title, stick all these bits down.

Sort out how you want your journaling box to look – big, small, even two - and cut them from cardstock to match the mat

Add small embellishments to the squares, or replace them with flowers, or even tiny photos.Use ribbon or fibre instead of the paper strips.

Handwrite or type journaling. Stick journalling block(s) over the strips on the RHS

Use stickers, diecuts, stamps, chipboard for your title

The Minibook

So here it is my MINIBOOK. Within this book i have used at least four techniques. These are

• The Tissue Technique
• Masking Tape
• Peeled Paint
• Stab Binding

Each Page is different so there is a pocket page that has its own little book. A door page with a window so it hides a photo behind. A fold out page that can be used as a normal card (I saw this as a template on the stampington & company website). An Acetate page that was first taught to me by Kirsty Wiseman. An Envelope page that is used for tags and other memorabilia. Then lastly the back cover.






















































I enjoyed making this book and i hope that you like it as much as i do. I have no idea how much or how little of this is original but i do know that i have never seen a book like this before.
Instructions will be posted in the next few days.
I have some kits left over and if you would like one it will cost £7 including p&p, to order contact me on bellatheboss@yahoo.co.uk
