Happy Monday everybody! It was school vacation week here last week so the family and I took a trip to DC – hence the lack of a challenge last Monday. But I’m back today with a new challenge – using of course, photos from our trip. I’m actually surprised at how few photos I took on this trip – it was very cold and photos weren’t allowed in a lot of places. Anyhoo, back to my inspiration piece:
I wanted something with a large background photo and room for a few more photos – a quick glance through a magazine and I found this. You could easily do this in paper with or without the large photo – using the photo strip. I actually wrote a tutorial on creating a photo strip at Get It Scrapped.
Here’s my take:
I didn’t like how the large photo looked so flat so I blended a textured cardstock over it. I thought it made it a little bit more interesting. Tid bit from the photo – I tried to connect to wifi while in the Capitol building and one of the networks that popped up was Abccbscnnnbc – I found that so funny.
I’ve been playing around with my site design for the past few weeks. I’m not sure I’ve settled on this one but I’m hoping it’s not causing any problems for anyone. Let me know if you are having trouble with it – thanks!
Another superb advert and page – and an inspired idea to fill the space with a huge photo :). Looks like a wonderful trip. (If you’re still tweaking, the very pale grey of everything below ‘Required fields are marked” makes writing a comment a bit of a challenge :).)
Thanks for your kind words Alexa. Our trip was wonderful. And I appreciate the feedback – that’s exactly the kind of stuff that I’m trying to fix.
Hey, this is WAY better! YAAAAAAAAY Paula, thank you!
Now, as for the l/o. I would so steal the slanted column and the rounded corners…love love love!!!
