A simple proposition from Amy of Over at Our Place – create a simple, no fuss layout about something from this week – keep it simple and just do it. What a good idea I thought but did not create the layout. Then Amy blogged about it again and even admitted to nagging us. So I opened Photoshop Elements, looked through photos from the week and a collaborative kit that I collected on Scrapbooking day and made a simple page, based on Amy’s template.

Then I thought, that was easy and fun so I grabbed my camera and the books I am reading and took a photo to create a second page using the same layout.

Both of these pages are normal photo size. I’ve been doing this a lot recently and storing the results in a traditional flip photo album – digi pages simple and cheap.
As well as prompting and nagging, Amy will be sharing all the resulting pages. You still have time to join in – check out her original post, and be sure to check out the rest of her fabulous, powerful, simple digipages.
Simple and cheap is definitely tempting! But mind you, these aren't so simple that they don't tell a good story in a pleasing way!
ReplyDeleteExcellent Helena! It is quite catching once you give it a go - I think the trap is that you feel it is too hard and will take too much time, I now find that it is a quicker way to scrap because the story is fresh and that makes for easier journaling - well, for me anyway!
ReplyDeleteDigi helps too of course :-)
