Painting Faces – Week Five



And here we are on week five. One more week left in the class. I can’t
say I’m utterly talented but it’s really fun to work on this.

Photos on Layouts

Today’s prompt from Shimelle is In general, do you prefer to
scrapbook with single photos or a group of photos? Share a few of your
favourite examples with your blog readers.

I tend to scrap single photos more often than not. I tend to use 4×6.
It’s easy and efficient to print them ahead of time and just pull them
as I sit to scrap. Scrapping is not about the photos for me. It’s just
about the memories and the stories so I don’t use multiple photos unless
it’s needed for the story.

Jake’s mom, Jake, David and I went to Santa Cruz today and we had so
much fun watching the seals, walking on the pier and playing with sand.
