Grandaughter Scrapbook Page

One photo scrapbook layout – paper – grandmother and granddaughter.

Something I find very humorous about this page is that when I created it I was so incredibly pleased with the outcome that I went on paper scrapbooking hiatus for quite a while.  I was very afraid to break the mold. LOL.

As you might be able to tell I am fanatical about bring colors in my scrapbook pages.  And I think that’s what makes this page so powerful – especially when paired with a black and white photo.

Anyhow…for this page I used rubber stamps from StampinUp! This includes the stamped CHERISH text on the top left which I watercolered and glossy accented.  This also includes the pretty flowers on the right of the photo – which I also watercolored and added clear glitter to.

Beneath the photo are 3 white mini-brads which I love!  I think they add that special something.

Finally, I topped the page off with a few additional elements (stickers, silk flowers, clips and ribbon) and viola – a simple but very elegant masterpiece was created.

Scrapbook Layout – One Photo

One Photo Layout – Paper Scrapbooking

This was my absolute FIRST scrapbook page done with paper.  I had to do it.  This was one of my favorite photos of all time.  It reminded me of a television commercial that would leave a warm and fuzzy feeling in your heart.  Don’t know why.  Anyhow…reflecting back I would have spent a little more time making sure that everything was properly placed (not crooked) on the page.  I probably would have scanned the photo and made it much larger as well.

On this page, I tore handmade fibre paper (the red and gold on top and bottom) and I bent wire to spell out the word cousins.  I also printed the journaling onto a manilla folder.  This page took a LONG time as I wasn’t very happy with a LOT of it as I was building it out.  I had ZERO direction on it – other than the fact that I loved the photo.

What I do love most however is the fantastic colors I chose.  The green, red and gold with hinds of orange are just FANTASTIC!  Hopefully this one inspires you in some way.

Black Background Scrapbook Layout

Digital Scrapbook Layout – Black Background – One Photo

Again, more fantastic page elements and design from designer digitals made this page possible. The caption, the swirls, the blue and white flowered background as well as the amazing orange flowers were all from them.

But what got me going on this page – was that I loved the caption! That’s where my true inspiration came from. I knew I had to have the perfect photo for it as well since my daughter is just so incredibly animated.  She loves taking photo’s and doesn’t care what she looks like in them.  It makes it really easy to make a lot of pages around her.

Anyhow…the photo itself was originally taken as my daughter was laying down on my hardwood floors in the kitchen.  I used the magnetic lasso in photoshop 7.0 to crop away the wood floor and then I added this insane sunset photo I took.  It certainly allowed me to stay true to the caption.

Scrapbook Layout – 3 Photos

Digital Scrapbook Layout for Girls – Using 3 Photos.

Again, this is one of my early attempts at digital scrapbooking.

My daughter drew the sunshine (at age 5 or 6) – inspired by the basketball page layout I did with my son’s basketball drawing and she asked me to find a way to create a page with her drawing as the focal point.

I could have gone bigger with it – now that I reflect back – but I still managed to produce a pretty cool layout that I really enjoyed.

All other elements on page were designed by myself (font excluded of course).

Scrapbook Layout for a Blurry Photo

Scrapbook Layout – One Blurry Photo – Great Digital Elements (Thank you designer digitals)

This layout was a lot of fun for me.  I used a lot of elements from designer digitals on this one.  I did a bit of resizing and a bit of retouching – but the goal was to be able to use this really blurry photo in a way that made it NOT MATTER that it was blurry.

Thanx to the great designs at designer digitals I was able to find some great elements to breath a new life into this scrapbook page layout.

Fairy Princess Scrapbook Layout

Girl Scrapbook Layout – One Photo – Fairy Princess Frame

Again, this is one of my earlier scrapbook layouts.  I was really into the “draw your own elements” and “paste into them” features of digital scrapbooking.  I believe for this particular layout I had do do some erasing around the edges of the photo in order to get it to ONLY display in a portion of the frame.

In the end…I was REALLY impressed with myself.  Having no official graphic design training whatso ever…I thought this was pretty advanced.

Today this type of technique is easy for me.  It’s just a matter of working with the photoshop layers in the absolute most creative way possible.

Floral Scrapbook Layout Idea

Scrapbook Layout – One small photo – One Big Focal Point

This has to be one of my all time favorite scrapbook pages.  Everything on it was designed from scratch by me (cijaye) during the early days of digital scrapbooking.  I started out with a drawing I made of the flower.  I created the background layer, then I decided to play with the flower as a primary focal point on the page.  At that time I didn’t really expect to be able to get a photo onto the page.  Though it was important.

I played with the idea of placing tiny photo’s into all of the petals and then I got very overwhelmed by how busy that would look.

So, I elected to cutout the center of the flower and using the “paste into” feature in photoshop 7.0 I resized the photo of choice to just the right size.

I still adore this one.  Even to this day!

Basketball Scrapbook Layout

Basketball Scrapbook Layout – Digital – Eight Photos

Now this particular layout is very special to me.  This was one of my first tries at digital scrapbooking and more important – the paste into or grouping feature in photoshop 7.0.

My son (at age 8 or 9) drew the basketball – which I then scanned and enhanced for the photo.

Granted, this page would be a lot less “busy” had I created it today…but I love how I was able to use the sections within the basketball as frames for the scrapbook photos.
