Vegetable Display and Prize Produce

I did two layouts using this No. 7 class layout. The class layout had all the photos grouped on one side of the 12x12 paper with the two columns of the 2”x2” squares down the other side. I

The first layout “Vegetable Display” I followed the class layout closely, only moving the squares around to get all of the colourful photos I wanted to scrap on the display of vegetables at the Malvern Show, put on by a seed company. This is the layout I did,

 Lessons Learnt:

1. There is nothing more satisfying than cutting 2”x2” of your scrap patterned paper with your punch!
2.  Cutting up leftover patterned paper into 2 x 2 squares is a good way of using it up and allowing you to utilise it on another layout.
3. Using patterned paper in squares like this made me able to mix colours and patterns of paper Id normally never put together.

The second layout “Prize Produce” I used the idea of arranging all the photos together. I used 8.5 x 11 paper and grouped the photos so that there were no spaces between them with the journaling on the right hand side. This is the layout I did 

Lessons Learnt:

1. I would not journal on dark paper again as it really does not show up well
2. If I did this layout again I would type the journaling up instead of hand writing as I think that this would visually be better.
3. This style of layout, on this size of paper is great when you have several photos you want to scrap together with only a short story to tell.
