Three Photo Layout

Hello! Today I want to share one of my favorite ways to put together a three photo layout. I find myself using this general layout anytime I have 3 photos that go the same direction.

For those of you who prefer to see this broken down into its basic parts, I've whipped up a quick sketch of the layout.

Let's talk about a few of the ways you can change this basic layout up. If you rotate the sketch 90 degrees you've got a great layout for horizontal photos. Here I used 4x6 photos, but if you print one size smaller (3 1/2 x 5) you'll end up with some extra space for matting your photos with paper. You can use 2 photos and substitute a journaling spot for the third photo. Add extra layers of paper behind the photos for more dimension.

This layout was part of a much larger section in my book, so I had no need of a title and journaling, but a title could easily be added to the top of this layout, and journaling to the bottom right hand area.
I used some Pop Up Glue Dots to pop the center photo up from the rest of the page. It's a great way to add some dimension to the layout and put a little extra focus on one of the photos.
The paper and embellishments for this layout came from American Crafts True Stories collection. I've been using True Stories a lot for travel photos, but it's a great all occasions collection! 

I actually have some more layouts sitting on my "to be photographed for the blog" using this basic three photo layout sketch. Do you have a go to layout that you use a lot? To be honest, it took me a bit to even realize I was doing it because this sketch is so customizable!

2 Cards 1 Sketch

It's time for the November Moxxie Blog Hop.  The list of disigners is at the bottom of the page so you can hop along. The info on the prize is also below.  This month's theme is cards.  I decided to come up with a sketch, and share 2 cards from the sketch. 

Here's the sketch I started with:

I created a birthday card for my grandpa from Autumn Glory.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the center out of the card and create some small leaves for decor. 

For my second card, I decided to make a shaker card from Moxxie's new Winterland collection.  I used white, silver, and purple sequins inside for the shaker part.  That little snowman was just asking to be surrounded by sequins!

Now, on to the great prize being offered this month.

None other than the amazing new Winterland!!!

This line has a fantastic color combo, fun patterns and cute embellishments for all of your wintertime activities!
