POTD - Scrapbooking

I had stated before I taught at our local scrapbook store and I made these layouts for my classes. Some were to show how to use the item we made or like this first one we actually made the layout. Obviously my photography is much to be desired here. Tough taking shots of layouts and getting them to look halfway decent.

This one is using foam board to raise the top cardstock layers to give a shadow box effect. This is a great technique for real lumpy bumpy items like the glass stones you see here. I also used liquid beadz which weren't very popular at our store, but I really liked this embellishment. This is a Heidi Swapp technique, gotta lover her stuff! I'm all about lumpy bumpy and lots of embellishments. I tend to try to start out doing a layout and having a simple clean layout and end up overloaded. I guess that's just my style :)

This was a layout I came up with to push the zippers that we had an overabudance of. I cut all my own chipboard letters and used Basic Grey paper to cover them. Then I used UTEE to give them the gloss, which you can't see in this photo. My 2 scrapping buddies convinced me to put this layout in the CK Buffalo Layout Contest. Which I did and of course like I told them, I wasn't going to win and didn't :( They are always busting my chops calling me Becky. "Oh let's see what Becky's got new this time LOL!" I love Becky Higgins but like I said I try to go clean and fresh and end up more like Heidi Swapp, who I love as well.

This layout was produced for my borders class. Very simple - 3 coordinating papers, some ribbon and a few silk flowers w/brads.

Ooooh, my 2 babies!! I love this layout and the photos! The photos weren't the best, I only had a digital point and shoot and had total demonic dog eyes, but these are the last few I got of the 2 best friends before Jessie had to go to doggie heaven. I made this layout after she was gone and I think I cried the whole time I put it together. Can you imagine? It takes me hours to put a layout together LOL!

Had trouble getting the whole layout in the picture. I was using my 50mm. I put this layout together for my slide mount class. By using slide mounts you can make shaker boxes and that's what we did in the class, made the snowman. Isn't he cute?! This is one of my favorite layouts of DD making a snowman all by herself! She even ran next door (to grandma's house) to get a carrot for the nose because we were all out! Gosh she's 4 in these and she will be 9 soon. Told you I'm way behind! This photo really doesn't do justice here.

Finally done! Probably bored everyone to death with this long drawn out post!

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to comment on my post yesterday, love reading all of them.
