Some new inspiration....

Hello there
I know it has been a little while since the last post, but I have some layouts to share with you that may give you a little inspiration for your multi-photo pages

I loooove using my cutting dies to create embellishments with as well as chipboard and metal embellishments.  I recently learned a new technique to dress up chipboard by painting with gesso, let dry then randomly inking the piece with TH distress ink and then go over with dimensional magic or glossy accents or similar and blend gently with your finger....the ink will meld with the DM/GA and produce a unique embellishment for you....there are so many possibilities with that technique!!

If you have any layouts that have 3 or more photos on then and you would like to have your work published, please send them in to me and I will post them on the blog - we all need a little inspiration!!

Thanks for looking, Ann :-)

I have done a few multi-photo layouts of late, so thought I would share on the blog

A couple of these are from classes that I have taught and the last one is a kit that I have available.  The Mad Hatter Party layouts are from my daughters 21st birthday celebration album.  I love to make my own embellishments.....paper flowers, fabric buttons, butterflies

I hope you get some ideas from some of these.
