monday muse: layouts with cut outs

7/1/2012

I'm baaaaack! Well, kind of. We are still getting settled, but the crazy moving/vacation month is over. It's sad, but at the same time we are ready for some normal life again. I have nothing free to give you yet, but I hope to soon. I got Illustrator online classes for my birthday so once I'm done with those I'll be a master graphic designer---haha, I wish. Today's inspiration happens to come from the same scrapbooker. I pinned each of these layouts at different times and when I put together this article, I noticed that Amber R created both. It must be her signature style. :) Notice how in both of the layouts below, she cuts out some pictures to extend beyond the box. She also splits pictures between two or more boxes. Different and fun! As always, click on the pictures to find the original source.

I loved the last one so much that I scrap-lifted it and created my own layout below. My daughter will one day hate me for posting pictures of her swimming without a swimsuit, but I will remind her then that she refused to wear one. For a tutorial on cutting out pictures, click here. Send me any layouts that you do with this cut out style!

Yay! I'm glad you're back! I LOVE those layouts!! Gorgeous. And so different and creative. I may have to try my hand at that sometime soon.

I'm not really a designer, just a digital scrapbooker who wants to encourage others to scrapbook by sharing my finds and creations. For free.
