Thinking of fall....

Or fall colors, at least! Recently, I've been looking longingly at my pumpkin patch photos from back in October and creating some layouts.

The funny thing is that both of these layouts include photos taken at the same event, but they each have a completely different focus!


This layout is a more typical event-y layout. I have other layouts that also document that day (I had recently gotten my Rebel and there were a LOT of photos taken, ha!), so I didn't go into much detail and journaled way less than I usually do. I love how the colors and mood of the layout totally echo what I remember of that moment.

(note: this pinked circle banner was inspired by my talented friend, Rebecca Ertel!)

This layout is a bit more introspective--I wrote about how I felt at the pumpkin patch on a deeper level. When I'm with my husband, I just feel totally myself. I can be 100% who I am because I know he will love me no matter what. It was that emotion that I wanted to convey on this layout.

I kept the design simple to focus on the photo and message. The rub-on at the bottom is from Lily Bee, and one of my favorite embellishment sets ever. I could have about 500 of those packages:)

So there you have it--one event, one set of photos, and two completely different layouts!

What do YOU do when you have tons of photos from one event?

  2. I love both these layouts. When I have a ton of photos from one event, I scrap them until I'm bored with them. lol. that's usually around 3 layouts (1 single, 1 double pager)

  4. I often do the same thing. If I have a lot of photos (or sometimes, I even scrap the same photos more than once) I'll do one with the story, one might be more artsy - just me playing around with scrap stuff, etc.

  6. When I have lots of photos, first I think I have to capture everything all in one layout, and I start to feel anxious. Then I remember that there are no rules. I can make several layouts;some that capture the big event, and some just to express a little thought.

  9. Love the very simple design of your I See layout. It's perfect :)

    I usually end up doing a mini-album for big events with lots of photos.
    but I might also do a one or two page spread using some of my favorite photos of the event for the bigger albums.

  14. Love the second layout so much. It is so you. =)

    Lately, if I have a lot of photos, I like to make a mini, but I really like how you did two different layouts here from the same event. Maybe I'll try that out!
