Another GSO Post!

CTM Robin here with another GSO blog post. I was perusing Liz’s gallery today in order to find my mojo. Truly, the heat just dries it up and leaves me feeling very uncreative. But I have a great trick to jumpstart it, and that’s scraplifting other talented scrappers’ pages! Hey, they say the imitation is the best sort of flattery so I’m being very, very flattering right now :P

First, look at this one by spcoggs:

The store looks amazing, and I love the way she documented her visit. That title reminds me of Bigfoot with its dirty and hairy appearance.

Next, I saw this one by umyesh and knew I wanted to highlight it:

I love a good big photo layout and this one is fabulous. The angle of the photo makes your eyes start off in the center, and then spread to both sides of the outfield. Additionally, this is another example today of how a title can match the layout so well too!

Now for something totally different, look at this one by mywisecrafts:

I’ve gone from loving all the photos on these pages, to loving a photoless page! Her blending is incredible, and I’m amazed at the effect she achieves by clipping the chosen papers to the template. It’s so unifying and wonderfully showcases that journaling in the center!

This page by CathQuillScrap is another layout where photo placement really captured my interest:

I love the tilted series of photos and eye-catching papers. Her title work and journaling are tucked in so perfectly too. What a fabulous layout!

Lastly, I had to leave you with this page by Dady:

Who can resist a smiling llama??!! This entire layout is playful and full of energy. I would love to hear the story behind this photo some day!

Well, that’s it for me this month. I’m still in shock that half of the year is almost over, so I think I’ll go and figure out how I can scraplift these pages and therefore get back outside while I still can. Summer is going too fast here in the US!

See y’all next month!

Step-by-Step Layout

Happy July y’all! Can you believe the year is almost halfway over?? I’m not ready for summer to end here in the States so I’m crossing my fingers that time slows down!

Well, with a new month here, it means I have a new Step-by-Step blog post to share. Today I wanted to show you how I made a layout using Liz’s Circular Templates.

I love it when she includes the journal boxes in shapes so I don’t have to! This template is super cute, don’t you think?!

As usual, I started by clipping my photos to the photo spots. I love this big half circle which allows me to use a large vertical photo on my page without a boring rectangular shape:

Next, I clipped some papers from Lynn Grieveson and Studio Basic’s Don’t Quit collection to the background and the text boxes. These papers had the perfect neutral shade I needed to show off the fountain.

Then I added elements from Lynn Grieveson’s Before and After collection. One of the reasons I reach for Liz’s templates over and over is because she has space for some elements, but not so much that my photos take a back seat!

Finally, I used the big title that was there and typed in my words “Fiumi Fountain” and then applied a metal outline style to it for a whimsical effect. I also added my text and suddenly I was finished!
