Last week's lesson by Ali Edwards was really cool. A photo-less layout. She was talking to us about how normally a layout has photos + words. And sometimes we do a layout with lots of photos and no real journaling. But that no-photo layouts also have a place in our albums. I'm trying to think if I have ever made a layout with no photos before and I'm really not sure if I have.
The layout which she suggested making was called "You Should Know". A really fun concept which I'm not sure I would have thought of otherwise. Just lots of one line, numbered, random facts about yourself. Then, again randomly, making a few of the sentences/facts in a larger font. Some patterned paper bits added to the top and then I finished it by hand-stitching across the border. I'm so happy with the result that I made another version of it which I will show you another day :)
What a great idea - it looks fab!
ReplyDeleteneat looking layout!
ReplyDeleteI like how your page is not white but colored cardstock. I had not thought of that. I'm hoping to get my "You Should Know" page done soon. It shouldn't be that hard! I'm a classmate from Yesterday + Today and Blogging for Scrapbookers.
ReplyDeleteLooks great
ReplyDeleteLooks great, I like the idea. I have a couple of similar page ideas already journaled about in my idea journals. So all I have to do is just do it! lol TFS Hope all is well with you and yours.
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun with this LO, too. Love the hand stitched lines!
ReplyDeleteI love the page! Now I'm inspired to go to a layout with no picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat layout. I wish I would have taken that class. :-(
