It is so amazing to have you join me on each of these Artful Adventures. I really want to make sure to show you ideas you can get some use from!  That’s why today’s discovery is about learning a nifty method for a simple, perfect bows!  Some people feel like they are all thumbs when it comes to tying a bow.  I have always felt pretty adequate in this area, and loved tying those big bows on the back of my girls dresses when they were young.  However, I was never really able to show or articulate how I did it.  My dad always said I did something kind of odd in the way that I did it.  (Wouldn’t you know an old sailor would know if you were tying the perfect knot or bow!)  Anyway, watch as my friend Georgia Giguere shows you the most clever way to just about get a perfect bow EVERY time!  You will love this method for your projects!  Seriously, you are going to love this!

Halloween Scrapbook Double Layout, Buttons & Bows, Take 2

This Halloween page uses the same layout on the left page that I showed you in yesterday’s post.  However this layout was done so each of the grandkids could have copies.  Having to have pages for more than one person of the same events is another great reason to do a digital layout!  Thought I would show you a double page layout so you could see the finished layout.

You can see that this actually covers two different years. By the time I got to the page on the right, I had decided the little black bows reminded me of bats, so I just added them onto the page with that intent.  Also, the white button is a “moon.”

Just take it a layout at a time!  Have you run across some favorite pictures from years ago that you want to get on pages?  

Halloween 3-Photo Scrapbook Layout with Buttons and Bows

Do you ever feel like you are behind in scrapbooking your pictures?   Don’t feel like everything has to be put into layouts based on a day-by-day, chronological order!

I ran across these cute pictures of our Princess 2 (granddaughter) and thought they would be so cute in a page all together.   Because of all the buttons and bows, it would have been quite heavy and bulky using real product, so this is a digital page.

With all the open space in the layout, you can easily get by with adding the different patterns of paper behind the photo mats.  In this case, the circles help pull together the design with the round buttons of the border.

Notice how some of the buttons are overlapping a bit and the shadows on the buttons are individually adjusted so that they appear more like they are overlapping each other.

The little black bows remind me of little bats – which was a happy accident!

What kind of happy accidents have you had in scrapbooking a layout?

This layout was done with Stampin’Up! My Digital Studio, (MDS).  I receive no compensation for mentioning it.
