The Details : Scrapbook Layout

lovely pic - so much feeling - i see you snap them most of the time without flash. you must have a steady arm... :)

oooh I love this layout. the challenge layout from yesterday today class week 4 got me started on the idea of incorporating my many pieces of paper / letters etc with images and elements, and I really admire the style of this example. Thank you for yet more great inspiration.

i love that picture, so sweet. would you mind sharing your favorite lens with us? i'm always curious what lens gets used most often. thank you :)

Love this layout with the actual drawing!-Soraya

great layout!!! can't wait for the how-to!!!

Thank you!!!
I can't wait.

I love including my boys' drawings on my layouts...I wish I'd thought of it a few years ago! Yours is perfect with all the white space and the photo to match!

awwww...this is so sweet :o)

Any help with PSE is appreciated. I am so frustrated over choosing between paper and digital scraping. So many papers, so many embellishments in my stash. So easy and many digital papers, elements, etc on-line. You are such a help.

How cute! Always think its great to include a kidlet's artwork and I really am smiling at your circle elements! I suppose a happy face can have that effect on people. Oh wait! There's a cute kidlet there too? Yup, good reason to smile. :>

Hi Ali - I so enjoyed Y&T, and am going back to the lessons as I work through the layouts. I'm a bit slower at creating, and just couldn't keep up each week, but looked forward to Thursdays nonetheless! Seeing your layout above, I'm reminded of my burning questions for you: what are your philosophy and style tactics for selecting and placing accents on your creations? In my opinion, you're an expert at marrying key accents that enhance your photo+words stories. Just the right balance. I'd love to hear more about this from you.

Love that photo & Simon's precious drawing.

Hi Ali, this is such a great layout. Thanks for the tutorial, the videos are very helpful especially for someone like myself who is a little intimidated by the whole digital side of things.

Ali,
Just want to thank you for all of the detailed instructions. I really am grateful and thankful to have access to your ideas and techniques.
Thanks so much!

Can you share where you got the digital stitches and label you used on your blog banner?
Thanks.

The stitches are from my stitched overlays at Designer Digitals: http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/5939
The little red label is a vintage one I had here that I typed on with my typewriter and then scanned.

Ali, love that photo. I'm with the other girls, what is your go to lens? Are you often shooting in overcast weather? So many of your shots seem to have such even lighting.

This is great. My daughter is always making cards for us. And I know I can' keep them all. But I'm always wondering what do to with them to keep them.

Ali,
your blog looks all crooked and messed up...what's going on?

Ali,
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Your tutorials are a great help and I'm actually enjoying this hybrid/digital way of scrapbooking. It seemed so intimidating before but you've made it so simple and I am glad I finally get to really play with your digital products!
