As I was blog surfing yesterday I read a post about a layout recipe that this blogger liked to follow. She makes a layout on the 8 1/2 x 11 scale and then attaches it to a 12x12 piece of paper/cardstock. I think that is a great idea and I really liked the results of the layout. There is also an article in the Nov/Dec 2010 Creating Keepsakes Magazine about Recipes for quick and easy layouts. My question for you today is:
Do you have a "go to" formula for your layouts/cards? If so, would you like to share?

Sadly I just smoosh stuff around on my desk. If I had a formula maybe I wouldn't spend so much time staring at it.

No formula - I just grab a stamp set or some paper and see what works with it. I do have a philosophy when making cards - make two! As long as the set is inky, make the same or a similar card with different dp or different colored inks. Makes stashing up cards for different occasions much easier!! Great idea! |

No formula. It all depends on my mood. Sometimes my layouts are so simple and other times I spend stacks of time fiddling and adding bits and pieces.

I dont have a formula either but I do the same as Jen and when I make a card, I will make 2-4 of the same card to build my stash. I haven't been doing that as of late though! I have heard of the "formula" that you are talking about Kristina, I have heard it called Progressive Scrapbooking. You usually start with a single photo on a card front or 6X6 scrapbook page, then you add that to an 8 1/2 X 11 and then that to a 12 X 12. Here is a link. www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/techniques-f11/progressive-scrapbooking-t31211.html |
