Do you remember last weekend I edited these photos & made a couple of Picasa collages? I chucked a layout together really quickly for this one. I always stick my 2 single sheets together at the back with masking tape (it's easier to pull off than sticky tape) then work on my layout as one unit, rather than 2, I find this way easier for double layouts.
I finally got to use some of the A4 coloured paper that I've had forever (it's usually just that little bit too short to add to a 12 inch layout) so it was perfect for here & I tore it to reveal the white core. Always tear towards you to achieve this & aim for one continuous tear or you get a wave effect - not a good look unless that's what your after,lol!)
I could see I had plenty of space for the title so I just sommer started sticking those letters down 'til the title was finished! - I wanted the date (2008) right at the end so I stuck it on backwards- starting with the 8, to be assured of it ending up in the right position. Thought of this little trick a while back...Then I had a bit of fun with my fave 7 Gypsies stickers, adding wording strips here & there & ploughing through my flower stash (I am so over flowers & stuck with a gazillion).
Also dug into the brad & photo anchor stash & used up some of my buttons too. I don't generally go for the unstitched look so sewed through all the buttons FIRST then plopped them on with a glue dot each. WAY easier...took me a while to think of that one but have been doing it for a fair bit now (duh???!!!) So there you have it. Time consuming to create the collage but a quick layout so all balances out in the end ;-)
Happy Scrapping!

Fabulous collage! I love the idea and just may have to use it ... so many things to do ... so little time :)
Feel free to lift whatever you want from me ... half of it I've lifted at least part of any way :)
OMG - this is so awesome! Can you make me one please?? ;-)
Wow you rock. Brilliant ideas.
Thats a great layout - are you planning to do one now for each year?
