Project #1 - New Kid on the Block

This little project was created with an old photo. As you can see from the date, it is about 50 year old that was scanned. Scrapbooking can be one way to display those old photos that might be hidden in the back of your closet. Don’t leave them there. Bring them to life!

To complete this layout, you can use the same kit I used, Spring Fever by  KimericKreations. You can download it here on her blog. This kit  has soft colors so it is well suited for “gentle” subject photos. However, you can use any other kit that you have, and any other type of photo too. For this particular project, you will need the following:

  • 1 photo
  • 2 papers (one of them only slightly patterned)
  • 5 small decorative elements (they can be identical, or different)
  • some spilled elements or sprayed ones

And now, just watch this video for the complete step by step instructions.
 

Did you use KimericKreations‘ kit? Did you use someone else’s kit? Remember to credit the designer for it. Also, I am sure that any designer would love to see what you did with her material. Don’t be shy. Go comment on her blog if she has one.

Bits of Scraps - What is a TOU?
You will notice that whenever you download a digital scrapbooking product (or even purchase one), inside the zip file there is usually one called TOU (short for Terms Of Use). This little document might seem useless when you create layouts for yourself, but it has some very important information for you. All digital products are not created equal. All designers do not have the same requirements. Some will allow you to create only layouts for yourself. Some will allow you to create layouts for others and get paid for it. Some will allow you to use the material to embellish a blog. Some will require you to give them credit, some don’t require it (although it is a good idea to try to credit them all the time).

The TOU document might also include contact information for that particular designer, so you can contact him/her if you have any question.

Make sure you keep those TOU files. If you don’t read them now, you will at least have them on file when you need them.
