I thought I was going to be making a 12x12 layout with both the House
Front cut file and the Cyber/Home School
file from Pretty My Page... but I accidently cut them on different shades of white cardstock and they
looked a bit off together. I then
discovered that my photos fit nicely inside the house windows and that led me
down an entirely different path.
I figure I’m going to have quite a few photos of my nephews
home schooling adventures and what better than keeping them all together in a
mini album. This might be the front
page; it might evolve again as we go and become an inside page! You can really tell this is in the “seed of
an idea” stage and not the completed project that I would usually be sharing in
a blog post! This is a 6x6 page, the
house being five and a bit inches at its widest point.
The cut file is such a cute design and for me was calling
out to simply be backed with papers. As
I mentioned the subject my photos fit perfectly in the windows giving the
illusion you were looking in to the house to the boys inside. I chopped up one photo to fill the bottom two
windows. I then used the left overs of
that 3x4 print to fill the top two windows.
It took a little bit of trickery as the bits left weren’t quite big
enough to fill the windows – so I added some patterned paper curtains to cover
the gap. I hand cut a few abstract trees
to accompany the house on the page and called it good. I may go back and add some clouds but I’ll
leave that decision until I know where I’m going with the rest of the album.
Here's the process video:
