family time...

I just realized that I haven't had the chance to share this 2 page layout that I did a while ago... of my sister and DH during our trip to BKK earlier in the year. (and I know I'm using this photo again, but just love it. it's not everyday that I managed to take one that I just love).

I have to admit that I usually don't do 2 page layouts, but then I do... the layout is a challenge in itself. How to ensure that the design still flows to the second page and also making sure that everything all line up. (The later is usually the problem, I tend to forget about the second page and work on them seperately. Tip - for 2 page layouts, it's best to work on both the pages at the same time.)

And for my new technique of the week (one of my resolutions this year - is to try a new technique every week) is to first mist the paper that will be used for journaling... and don't you just love the effect that it has... (I also mixed up the sequence of the strips after I had cut them).

  3. Thats so sweet Piradee! No wonder you use those photos several times :-)

    I´ve made a few (ok, 3) doubble LOs, and a great tip is to use Scotch tape on the back, making your 12"x12" into a 24"x12". You can just glue down anything you want to cross over the gap between the pages, and cut them in half when you are finished :-) It makes getting the balance rigth so much easier! ( I also like putting my double LOs into panoramic fold out page protectors (http://store.scrapbook.com/cln-05247.html) so that there is no gap between my pages)

    I can´t wait to see more of your wonderful work!! (and I´m also expecting my Magpie kits soon, and I can not wait to play!!)
