Glitter Girl and multiphoto mayhem (scrapbooking video)
Class content ©twopeasinabucket.com
This week Glitter Girl comes across some multiphoto mayhem, spurred on by this discussion of ideas for scrapping plenty of travel photos. Her adventure takes a look at various strategies she has used in a travel album plus creating a page using the divided page protectors from We R Memory Keepers.
Come along for the adventure, won’t you?
Depending on how long you’ve been reading (or watching?) you’ll have seen more or less of that album at the beginning, but this gives you a look at how the first volume is coming together. I’m currently on three full albums and need to start the fourth as this one is a bit overstuffed for my liking right now! But I’m just keeping all the pages in chronological order of our nearly-four-month adventure, and adding a divider page whenever we cross a border into a new country. Or at least that is the general idea: I’ve actually only made two of those divider pages and I’ll need ten more, but I’m not in any rush so it’s okay, right?
You may also start to see why I was in a panic recently when I realised I was completely out of kraft cardstock. When I had last stocked up, I bought 250 sheets. But it turns out, it is possible to burn through that much in about five months if you use it constantly. (Not to worry, have now reordered!)
You can find all the supplies and plenty of divided page protector options here. And of course you can use this same design as a sketch on a 12×12 page without the fancy page protector – just use three portrait 4×6 photos along the bottom and work with the 6×12 space at the top separately. Either way, you end up with four 4×6 images on a 12×12 page, plus room for title, writing and embellishment.
Now it’s your turn! This week Glitter Girl challenges you to try this four photo design – either with the special page protector or on a 12×12 page. Take a photo of your project and upload it to Two Peas and check the box for the Glitter Girl challenge in step four of the upload process to share it with us all – and you’re also welcome to share a link in the comments here if you fancy!
Onward, covered in glitter, my dear scrapbookers!
The Adventures of Glitter Girl is a weekly series on Two Peas in a Bucket, and goes live every Wednesday. I’ll share each adventure here shortly after that. I hope you enjoy her quests for crafting happiness, and if you ever have a scrapbooking dilemma yourself, you can always call her to action on the message board.
