Chit Chat News August 2021

 Good Morning Chit Chatters.

How are you all dealing with this pandemic? 

I've got to say there are days that I struggle, especially when lockdowns occur and my business is not classed as essential. WHO SAID CRAFTING ISN'T ESSENTIAL?? I KNOW ITS ESSENTIAL FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH. WHO'S WITH ME??

So when the worry and stress kick in

and then there are days that I am so grateful that I live in this gorgeous place, Perth

Western Australia I call home and I get to do what I love. 

August Multiple Picture Layouts

 

Hello Chit-chatters - Jacquie Hay here with my first tutorial for the month of August.

This month we're concentrating on multiple-photo and double layouts.

I have chosen to create a double layout, and I'm using Carta Bella's Farmhouse Market collection.

To begin, I have taped two white sheets of cardstock together, using washi-tape.

Drive & Fly Multi Photo Layout

Hello 

Jodie with you today sharing my process for multi photo layouts.

What a Day 

August Multiple Picture Layout

Hell again Chit Chatters Robyn Leeanne here with again for the month of August.

This month we are concentrating on multiple photo and double layouts.

I have used the Mintay "Glam Rock" collection to capture my granddaughters play times.

This is a single page multiple photo layout.

Yes again there is a lot of fussy cutting of the stars and the frames, its a great way to use up those pages in a collection that have the 12 frames on one side and the pics on the other side.

You may notice that I have used 3 different types of stars.

1. Gold Foil stars (2 different sizes)

2. Brads

3. Cut out stars

I always layout my design first then take a photo for reference then stick down.

I have framed all the photos with the frames I cut out and have used some the center of the cutout frames as extra ephemera and added a title.

I have also used some gold leaf in the background. I love the bling.

This particular collection has been a little daunting for me but I managed I think to make this look good.

I hope it will fill you with inspiration to try this lovely collection from Mintay and to have a go at multiple photo layouts.

 Its a great way to tell a story. 

 Product Used:

Mintay Glam Rock

Gold Leaf

Stay tuned for the next creative adventure.
