Snap 4 - Starting Points

After completing several layouts at my friend Amy's crop earlier this month, I decided to use some of the miscellaneous supplies I had with me to create starting points. Do you remember Shimelle's starting points? The idea is to create the background (or starting point) of a layout before choosing the story or photos for the completed layout. I used the first three ideas (here, here and here) that came up when I searched Shimelle's blog for starting points.


Here's a closer look at each one.




I'm hoping to find time this week to turn these starting points into completed layouts!

Joining in today with Helena's meme - Snap - a visually linked set of between 2 and 4 images.  The set can be based on colour or shape or subject.

  5. Love the yellow one. Your post reminds me that I have an album of pre-made pages from my scrapbooking biz days that I need to review again. I really want to start using them up!

  10. These are pretty. I do remember Shimelle's starting points and just a couple of months ago, I used up some scraps and made two bases for layouts. Alas, I still have not gone back to either one to complete them. Thanks for the nudge to pull those back out.
