These photos are a few years old, and I love the kids' expressions and I loved the North Pole sign, but they just didn't work as 6x4 photos. So, with some inspiration from a wonderfully talented scrapper and lovely lady, Mandy, I started cutting out the pics!! It's not something I do a lot of but it's what was needed for these photos and this layout. I totally LOVE this reindeer from A 2 Z - how fabulous are those antlers!! I popped on a little red rhinestone for his nose :) All of the snow flakes are the Martha Stewart border punch that cut up. The little chip signpost, also by A 2 Z, was just perfect for my sign, and I added a little Diamond Dust to create a bit of snow. If you take a look at Scraptherapy this month, they have a K challenge using scallops - more inspiration for my layout.
So, are you a photo cutter, or do you like to use square/rectangle pics. I think I might have to try more photo cutting ... I like it whenever I cut one out, but I don't do it much at all.
Thanks for stopping by,
Sandra :)
HI Sandra, wow.. sometimes the photo looks much better cut out.. i have cut out the photo if the back ground is too busy or has strangers in it.. wonderful impact with the black and the snow flakes.. well done..
