Lots of pictures

Hi Joy here,

on my recent trip to New York I took 600+ photographs and even with careful editing I got that down to 300ish! Until recently I have been scrapbooking single photographs on layouts.  That is an awful lot of layouts! I have however been experimenting with multipicture layouts.  At a Scrapbooking Retreat I did a class by Karen Russell - an amazing person and fantastic teacher.  She showed us ways to maximise the amount of pictures that you can get on each page using flaps.  These flaps extend outside of the page protector so that they can be turned.

Here is my take on a flap page with lots of pictures from Camden Market

The front of the flap has lots of small pictures on it.

The flap then opens to reveal even more.  I think I managed to get 25 pictures on this layout!

I have also had a play with pull outs.

Just two pictures on the front........

......pull the ribbon to reveal....

A flip album with more photos....

and a few more photos.

Have a play yourself.  Think about resizing pictures. It is easy to get stuck in a rut of 6x4 or 5x7. Try mini prints or create a collage.  Then be inventive with flaps and pull outs.

I am scrapbooking on Saturday with friends. I am going to get busy with my New York pile.

I like the flap one - I too have loads of pics from New York. Are you able to demo how to make the flap?

Thanks Sharon

These are so cool. I often wonder (I hope you don't mind my asking Joy) how do you store interactive pages like this - do you still put them in a sleeve album? This was very inspiring - I may need to try this on my Euro Disney & Loch Ness photos!

I will dem the flap on my next posting. It is really easy. You still put them in a sleeve. You make the page and the flap seperately. Measure the width of the flap and mark the position on the sleeve. Put a piece of thick card in the page protector and cut slit with a knife. Put the page in the protector and slide the hinge of the flap (which has double-sided tape on it)through the slit and stick in place. Hope that helps but I will take pics.
