Totally Scraplift-able Layouts
As I have been browsing through the Scrapjazz gallery lately, several layouts have instantly caught my eye. Not only were they great layouts and designed wonderfully, but they were versatile designs that I knew would be great to scraplift if I found myself in a bind. Here are 15 layouts that I found totally scraplift-able: - Happy Air by Libby Weifenbach - This layout is simple, but so striking. A stark contrast in colors, oversized title, and captivating journaling make this layout really tell the story of the photograph. The two rounded corners give it a dynamic look and draw extra attention to the journaling and photograph in the opposite corners.
- Cherish by Kaylers416 - If doodling is daunting to you, try using this layout as inspiration-whether you use pre-made rub-ons or your own designs. Focusing all of her doodle designs along the outside edges of the photograph gives a whimsical look to the layout while drawing attention to the photo. The black border makes the doodling, title and journaling pop off the page.
- Once a Year by stinkypete - This layout has the perfect combination of an enlarged favorite photo and a teeny bit of themed patterned paper. By slightly angling the photograph between the borders, it brings a more casual and playful feel to the page. For a simple, but effective title treatment, she's used a break in the border and brackets to draw attention to the handwritten title.
- Car Obsessed by Danette Schellhous - Flip your 8 ½" x 11" paper sideways and give yourself more room for those horizontal photos and lots of journaling. Patterned borders complement a colorful photo without drawing attention away from the picture and journaling.
- Smile by conniex145 -Matting the focal-point picture at an angle and adding a subtitle and flower embellishment is a perfect way to show importance to a photo on your page. Supporting photos are highlighted with journaling tags.
- Underneath the Pretty Papers by mixedmedia - Fit four vertical photos on one 8 ½" x 11" page with this easy design. It's a great way to give equal attention to each picture. Dividing the top border for a title and journaling pulls it all together.
- Boba by airberries - This is a perfect example of balancing a 2-page layout. Photos, ribbon, patterned paper, and embellishments are all equally balanced on both pages of the design. Even the title and journaling block balance each other in opposite corners.
- Camping by Andrea Steed - Photos with lots of color and inconsistent composition are evened out by putting them in a straight line on solid-colored paper. The patterned-paper circle border brings an element of design to the page, without overpowering the photos.
- Penn Homecoming by Susan W - Put your title right into the design by making it a border. This layout uses several vertical borders made with lettering, patterned paper, and photographs. A horizontal subtitle breaks up the vertical stripes and draws you into the center photograph.
- Sugar Cookies by AlligatorAlly - This is a great way to minimize your embellishments without losing excellent design quality. Overlapping three photos in the center of a solid-colored background allows you to draw extra attention to a colored title and handwritten journaling. Colored blocks adjacent to the photographs help to pull the colors in the photos together with the colors in the title letters.
- Oatman Christmas Parade by Polly - Fit five photos on one page with this simple design. An enlarged photo tells the theme of the page, while each smaller photo supports and tells the story. Rounded corners and inked edges make this layout have a collage feel without overcrowding the page.
- Carving Jack by Amy Stultz - This linear 2-page layout uses rounded corners and flowered paper to soften the straight lines. It also does a great job of balancing the elements from one page to the next by putting the photos in opposite corners as well as the title and journaling opposite each other.
- This is the One by darlyn - Here darlyn has used patterned paper and punchy colors added to a solid background for a playful, girly feel. Flowers added to the title letters help coordinate them with the patterned paper. A photo corner in the top right helps to complete the square created by the patterned paper strips and bottom border.
- 2005, What a Year by kimca01 - Nine photos and lots of journaling all fit onto one page with this great design. The black border between the photos helps to give them each their own space, while connecting them together into one collage of pictures.
- You Inspire Me by Ramona - Use black to really make your colors stand out like Ramona has done here. The colored title, circles and bullets for her journaling bring out the coat and hat in the photograph. Set on a black background, these colors are striking.
