Windows

This is one of the best ideas I ever stole (from Dwight's cousin, Starla). I did this several times in my wedding album and I took pictures of all of them. I did it one other time with 3 square windows but I'm not so crazy about that page. Anyway, I think the pictures make it fairly obvious. You cut a hole in the middle page and then you can see pictures on the pages behind it. It's pretty cool. People are always very impressed by it.

I think you can see the little window...

Okay, on this one there's a window above the circle that says "Group Shots" so that you see it on two pages (and the picture of Ted and I is on two pages).

A heart window. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by now.

For when you have lots of scenery pictures...

Okay, this I think is cool. It's 5 pictures that I took with my SLR camera in an attempt at a panorama. And then I just put them next to each other on the page. I thought it turned out kinda cool. I think it would have looked better if the pictures were more haphazard but of course I wasn't thinking about that when I took the pictures.

I think this could be a really idea although I didn't implement it very well. It would have been better if I would have just left it as ornaments hanging from the tree branch. Oh well.

This layout was actually a bit of a pain to do but I've always liked it. It's one of the few layouts that I actually like from my first scrapbook.

i did my own family tree because i had a lot of information to squeeze in!

Here's another sideways page. I should have gotten more of the page on the right in the picture because that's kind of a funny one. I had my brother Jonny do a page and he lined up three pictures all nice and neatly on the left side of the page and then had a little text in the top right corner. It's pricelesss!

from annika's baby book

another think that i've done a fair bit is to put an 8 1/2 x 11 page in a 12 x 12 album so it's like you're doing a 4 page spread instead of a 2 page spread. Make sense?

i like silhouetting pictures - here's a good example of a silhouette with my feet. (lovely)

just another random page...

Another idea for you to improve upon.

Another random page. ??

Umm...here's another mystery page. Not really sure why I took a picture of this page. But since I did...here you go.

maybe this will give someone inspiration to do something cute. an opportunity to improve upon the idea of another.

Okay...I like the kite...what can I say? (I made it myself of course.)
