Ready for a scrapbooking challenge from Big Picture Classes? Here we go!
Project Remake! Take those precious photos off a damaged or beyond repair layout. Then scan and save the images on to your computer. Now you can safely create a new layout using your original photos.
Recently
I found a crumpled up layout in one of my kids bedrooms, and the layout had original
photos from 1995 that I do not have the negatives for. As you can imagine, I
wanted to save the photos but wasn't concerned about rescuing the actual
layout. I deconstructed the layout, scanned and archived the photos, then set
out making a new layout using these precious photos of my twin boys as babies
and toddlers.
My
favorite method for archiving physical photos is an app called Shoebox.com. It allows you to scan photos using
your phone then archives it online at 1000
Memories for you.
It is easy, slick, and free!
Twice by Wendy Smedley for Big Picture Classes.
Now
that my precious photos are digitally archived, I can use the originals on a
layout. I grouped the photos all together on top of a foundation of patterned paper.
To add color, texture, and more patterns, I grouped stickers and a few
embellishments, anchoring them near photos.
Now
you have no excuses to save those precious photos to scrapbook! Simply
archive the photographs and scrap those precious memories today!
To do this challenge yourself, deconstruct a damaged layout (or one you've been meaning to update), and make a new layout using the original photos.
When you're done, upload your layout to the Club CK gallery and then reply below with a link to your layout.
The deadline is Monday, September 10, 2012, at 9:00 AM MDT. We'll choose a random winner, and the winner will receive a spot in May Flaum's Kit-tastic class (see below for more details).
