Before & After - Collaged Photos

Another before and after layout to share. I made this one using the Dear Lizzy 5th and Frolic line and a 8x10 photo collage that I made in Picasa and printed at home. I decided on a very simple design that kept my photos as the focus.

Before & After - My Baby Layout

My mom gave me this photo to scrap of me as a baby. It is one of her favorites. I don't like how HUGE my head is in the picture. I guess it is true when they say "a face only a mother could love". LOL

So I started designing the layout like this. I like to play with my templates on my cutting mat to get my design ideas flowing.

Then I selected some papers from the October Afternoon Woodland Park line and started tracing and cutting. In the end, I changed a few things from my original design idea, but basically it came out the same as my design "sketch" I made with my templates.

Templates used - Scallop mini 3A & 1B; Aspen Court mini 3B; Tiny Sweetheart 3T; Rings1; Winter3; Bracket 3T; 2" Strip mini; Tiny Tags 1T; photo mats 5.5x7.5, 5x7, & 4x5

New for 2013! Before & After

Since I LOVE using my KLD templates to design my layouts, I thought I would share my process on my blog and on YouTube whenever I make pages. I already have a couple videos up on YouTube where you can watch me creating, but I wanted to also include a few Before & After shots of pages here. So be on the look out for future posts (and videos) tagged Before & After to see how I use the templates in my designs.
