My version of the 'milkman's wallet'



It's taken a while to get my camera and the wallet in the same room with batteries which work! But here it is.

Multi Photo Layout


Here's a photo of my Surf's Up LO as requested by Jan :)
I sponged white acrylic paint on the title cardstock, the letters were clear freebies from SI mag which I painted on the back with white acrylic.

LAYOUT CLASS UPDATE

One of the layouts involves sticking the photos down and then applying them to the page. To do this you need acid/lignin free paper or cardstock, BUT IT WON'T BE SEEN! Here is the chance to get rid of those sheets of patterned paper you bought by mistake. (I used Asda cardstock - because I NEVER make mistakes!! - because I had a sheet on my desk and was too lazy to move!!)
12 x the height of your photos. Mine were 3inch, but there's no rule!!

LAYOUT CLASS

There will be a sketch layout, but I am bringing several ideas for multi-photo layouts. You will need LOTS of photos. One layout features EIGHT square 3x3 photos, one a mixture of shapes and sizes, one needs images that are taller than they are wide, but actual size isn't critical. Cardstock, patterned paper, and any embellishments you like. Emphasis is on the placement of the photos - the rest is personal choice.

WATCH THIS SPACE!
