I finished the Love Birds layouts with the remaining photos from my nephew's beautiful wedding, a friend's family trip to Portland, and an engagement photo shoot.
Check out the blog from the original release of this beautiful collection for lots of page assembly tips!
Layouts 1 & 2
When finishing a pre-planned layout, add your favorite photos to the mats and supplement with additional images from the event. The photo of the wedding attendees was cropped to a narrow strip and added just above the perfect page title. (No mat required!)
I love the rose gold metallic washi tape included with this kit. And, I just adore this fabulous couple. They met with the pastor prior to the ceremony, but only back-to-back so Chase wouldn't see her dress until she walked down the aisle.
Layouts 3 & 4
The captions paired perfectly for the wedding, but the original concept was developed to celebrate Valentine's Day.
Layouts 5 & 6
Switching gears to a trip to Portland . . .
When using a craft knife to cut around an image on a 12x12 page, be sure to refrain from adding adhesive to the overlapping area so a photo can easily slide onto the mat.
I typically add photos to a mat with a 1/8" border on all four sides. In situations where the mats are smaller, I often shrink the reveal to only 1/16". Do do this, simply subtract 1/8" from the mat size to determine the photo size. (For example, for a 3x4" mat, trim the photo to 2-7/8x3-7/8".)
Layouts 7 & 8
The photos from this engagement shoot for Beth Durie's beautiful daughter were almost 100% vertical. This page had spots for two horizontal 4x6 photos at the bottom. Check out how I adapted the space to accommodate three cropped vertical images. The center photo covers the gap between the mats.
Once again, note the smaller 1/16th reveal used for the cropped film strip style photos at the top.
I hope you find some of these page assembly tips for the Love Birds layouts helpful!
