from mosaic to digi page

When I had finished the mosaic from the market on Monday I was inspired to turn it into a digi page.  I had a faint memory of a Cathy Z layout which was very similar to the mosaic design that I used – and I found it. In the sketch the top line of photos are moved to the right to make way for a text block and the title fills the new vertical space.  Based on the sketch and words I included in the blog I made this page.

The journaling reads – markets really appeal to me – the vibrancy and bustle and colour and creativity and smells and tastes and hidden treasures. Variety really is the spice of life. 

I printed out the words and the photos on different sheets so that I could cut our the photos and stick onto the page – with digi pages I am still not used to how flat they are and so like to reattach the photos for a little contrast.

Market variety

Markets really appeal to me and I am always on the lookout for them in cities that I visit. Today I went to the weekly market in Canberra at the Old Bus Depot.  Great mix of food, plants, crafts, collectables and toys.  I love the colour and creativity and smells and tastes and all seeing familiar items and discovering hidden treasures.  I really do enjoy the variety.

Having created this collection I am thinking of making a digi scrapbook page – check back later in the week to see what I did.

small things

I’ve been intrigued by and attracted to the various gratitude and photo a day digi formats which include words and photos within a normal 4x6 photo print.  I like the simplicity of printing, that they are contained and how well they work as a format for a series.

I’ve also been thinking it would be nice to record some of the small things that I have enjoyed about living in Australia for a few months.  So I decided to create a digi template to print off 4x6.  Not sure how I will collect them together yet but I am enjoying the format. Here are two that I have done.
