Non-Photo Layout

23

Hi everyone! Eva Pizarro here bringing you an easy tutorial for a non-photo layout. Sometimes you want to tell a story but just don’t have a picture to help you illustrate it. That’s what happened to me when I started this layout.

During my last two years of engineering, I decided I wanted to go abroad and finish my school in Italy. I had already studied the language but hadn’t really spoken Italian very much. While living there, I met my husband and we started dating (not everything was study). After a few months together, he told me that I had a few funny phrases I would say all the time that didn’t really exist in Italian! He said he had never told me because he didn’t want to make me feel bad! This layout tells that story, and every time we remember those phrases we can’t help but laugh.

To do this layout, I cut a world map with my electronic cutting machine. I simply traced an image I found online.

To attach the map, I adhered the negative image with some washi tape and used liquid glue to put all the countries in their correct places.

I thought it would be fun to make a visual connection between my home country and where I met my husband and had such a good time, so I included some twine to connect Chile and Italy.

I used my dies to cut gold speech bubbles that I could put cute numbers on.

And that was it!
Here’s my finished layout. I used the alphabet masks for my title because I loved the big bold font.

I love how those gold speech bubbles shine when you look at the layout from different directions.

At the bottom I included a hidden tag with all the mispronounced phrases (no need to embarrass myself any longer).

Next time you want to tell a story and don’t have a picture, don’t let it discourage you! You can make beautiful layouts that still tell a story without photos.
Have a great day!
Eva

Travel Mini Album

Mini albums always get such a warm reception from our fans. We suspect today’s gorgeous travel mini album put together by Design Team Member Marjan Pel will be no exception. It’s a great reminder of her amazing trip!

Today I want to share my latest travel mini album about my trip to Valencia in Spain last year.

When I created this mini album I had a certain color scheme in mind. I wanted to use pastel colors and for a bigger contrast I needed black and white patterns too. The papers from the “Garden Party” line were just perfect for this job.

I used the pockets, inserts  and die-cuts that come with the line to create the pages. The clothes pins, Thickers and the enamel dots give the project a little bit of dimension.

I took a lot of pictures in Valencia but I only wanted to use instagram photos for this travel mini album. I printed the photos with a white border and embellished them with some Basics washi tape in colors which coordinate with the papers.

I love stitching on paper projects lately so I stitched some cute arrows and a heart with the help of some Amy Tan stencils by American Crafts on some of the pages.

I am really happy with the result and want to make more cute travel mini albums as I love to travel to all the cool cities in Europe. I will visit Vienna in May and will go to Paris in July!
