Quick and easy layout

Here's a layout I finished up a few days ago. Nothing fancy...just happy to have it done. These photos have been sitting in a page planning sleeve for a couple of years now. I do not know why I hadn't gotten around to doing anything with them, but I was tired of seeing them sitting there!

My daughter has helped out with Vacation Bible School at our church for several years. These pictures are from 2004. I used some very old stuff on this layout. I'm sure you can spot it: Heidi Swapp chipboard letters (I was out of the letter "s" so used the "negative" pieces), epoxy tags, and Ki Memories paper (note that I'm only using a strip of it...the rest is still hoarded!).

This particular set of photos (actually from a film camera) was printed many moons ago when I was going through a somewhat odd stage of having all my photos printed 3.5x5" with white borders. (White borders are an option at the store where I print.) These days I get 4x6" prints (or other sizes) and only rarely choose white borders. Obviously, borders work better on some photos than others. In this case, I didn't want to go to the trouble of re-printing the photos or trimming them off, so I worked around them.

Nice job. And hey, you can fit that many more pics on when they're 3x5. And the white border reduces matting work!!! Doesn't it feel good to finish up half started projects! Glad you can hoard that Ki for later!!
