Fun With Photo Blocks #9

Get the best of both worlds by including more photos with a large photo block on one side of your layout while still having some fun by creating a more traditional scrapbooking design on the other.


Supplies used - Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned papers and stickers: Simple Stories; Star punch: Fiskars; Computer font: Century Gothic; Ink: Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink: Embroidery floss: DMC


I love those papers that make scrapbooking so simple. This large flag/USA paper made design such a breeze. Generally, when I find papers like this that feature a large design I try to design around it and find a way to let it shine while also highlighting my photos, title, or journaling.


My go-to is usually to use a few smaller photos or maybe one larger photo and place it near the edge of the design, maybe overlapping onto it a bit.



I added a few smaller photos to the top edge of the design and few on the bottom edge with my title and journaling in the middle.




I liked that because I used journaling strips and alphabet stickers, you can still see most of the flag design behind it.


On the right page, I used a mix of photos and cards in different sizes to create my large photo block. For something a little different, I have a 2 x 12" strip added into the large photo block design.



That's what is so fun about creating these full-page photo block designs, you can mix and match and use a variety of sizes, photos, and papers to create completely different designs each time.



I added a column of stars to the 2 x 12" strip along with a 2 x 2" photo and square card.



I like to take advantage of empty space on cards and fill them with photos and extra details. It's like creating a little mini scrapbook page!



I also like to add little details onto the empty space of a few photos here and there.

The F1 model range has been around in one way or another since 1986, a short year after Techniques d'Avant Garde (TAG) acquired Heuer. The F1 was the first watch that link came out after the merger, and the influence of Techniques d'Avant Garde was put on full display. The goal was to link modernize link the brand, which they did by turning to quartz.
