Sometimes when you have a busy paper its nice just to anchor the page with a simple black boarder. 

 With that idea in mind keep the chipboard one colour also.

I needed something to support the fussy cut flowers so I just cut up the succulent piece of chipboard.

With the chipboard brick wall use the insert on the page, you get two different styles in one piece which makes it great value for money.

Stay tuned to see the teams fabulous work throughout the month.

Crab Fest Interactive Layout for Craft On the Run

 Good morning how are you?I am here today for Craft on the Run as we are show casing this month Multiple photo layouts. Hopefully its inspiring you all to get a little bit creative with featuring more than one photo per page.

Today I am here with an interactive layout- one of my favourite things to do when you have event style photos.... rather than have multiple layouts - what about a fold out booklet style page?

 Interested? I have a little flip through video to show you with the final product and a little step by step tutorial on how to start this type of layout with the first triple page spread and then how to have some fun making booklets to slide in and show case your photos.

Heres the little flip though video so you get an idea on what you can achieve....

Step 1: Mount your background pattern paper onto cardstock.... 

I know this sounds like a wasteful step but its a must to handle the weight of your layout.

Step 2: Cut 2 plain cardstock to the measurement of 12''x10 1/2'' then score one edge of both pages at the 1 1/3'' line.

Step 3:Stick cardstock #1 (with the score line to flip out to the left) 1/2'' from the background pattern paper making sure its equal spacing from the top and the bottom.

Step 4: Repeat the above step on the Right Hand Side now you should have 2 ''doors'' and a gap in the middle.

Step 5: Cover the inside center with a pattern paper this will also hide your hinges and add much needed strength as well.

Step 6: Now you need to cover all the cardstock with pattern paper and leave a small boarder if you like.

This is the first booklet completed, now you can make different size ones for the inside as you need them, you can get ideas from the flip through video also in the photos.
