I'm working feverishly on my son's senior album (even if I probably won't get it done before graduation next week), and was seriously stuck on homecoming. His high school has a week of events, and I had some seemingly unrelated pictures from those events. And I had only a couple of pictures related to the dance (only from before they left). I finally decided to treat each photo as its own mini layout. Here's what I came up with.
It was a interesting chance to apply some of the lessons from Pop Off The Page 2 to a two page layout.
The first page included two mini layouts.
I used small alphas to label each picture and Martha Stewart tags from the office supply store to number the pictures. The journaling block on that page used those numbers to link the journaling to the picture. And it gave me the chance to document an event without a picture. I simply added a piece labeled "Not Pictured."
The second page was about the dance - I had a few more pictures, so I treated that page as a full page layout.
I added my layers along the border of the page at the top and in the block at the bottom of the page that included that round tag. The journaling again referenced the number.
The embellishments on this layout were really simple - I had a small package of mixed stars from Jolee, cut a few more about scraps of POW paper with my cricut and mixed in the asterisks from my thickers pack.
Hope you enjoy your Memorial Day. I'm looking forward to a quiet day at home with my family, but will certainly spend some time reflecting on the sacrifice the men and women in our armed forces make for us. Now that my children are older, I have watched many of them join our military with a sense of pride, and it has made it much more personal.
Have a great day!
