Double-Triple Layout - 4

I use the Double-Triple (double layout, with 3 decorated pages for each) when I have an event with a LOT of pictures - like my son's football season - but I don't want to make a bunch of extra pages.

Another trick I use to display a lot of pictures without making too many pages is shown here. I get acid free clear envelopes and stack them to make a little flip file.

Close to My Heart now has their own version of this with the new "Flip Flaps". They can flip up and down or sideways and will hold two 4 x 6 pictures.

Yes, these layouts open up. I used the Close to My Heart Tru-Fit Folios. I turned them upside down and allowed the flap to open upward.

These were ideally made to collect memorabilia that wouldn't work on the top of a scrap-book page. Cards and tickets, or award ribbons can easily be slipped into the folio and the outside of it can be decorated just like any other page.

In this picture, I continued the Game On theme and slipped the Homecoming program through a small slot in the page protector so someone can actually look through the booklet. You can do that without fear using Close To My Heart products because our paper is buffered. That means that the acid from the news article or the copied booklet won't spread to my pictures! It makes a little protective barrier around the bad stuff, but still allows me to show it on my pages! I love that!

Double-Triple Layout - 1

I fell in love with this layout!
First, I started with Game On paper and used the All Star stamp set to give a splash of color. I just stamped a bunch of them in Moonstruck and Cranberry and cut them out then splashed them across the layout. I also double matted the pictures to make them pop.

This was actually a layout that we made at one of my retreats. I always have at least one workshop. Sometimes it is for a layout; sometimes I do altered projects. This one went over great! We added strips of design paper (b&ts) on the sides to center the artwork. Stay tuned, though, because I took my set to another level!

Star Challenge Layout - Christy

This layout was contributed by Christy Land. [[Thanks!]]

This turned out so great! We used some of the Game On paper pack along with the "Shining Star" stamp set. The colors for the Game On pack are black, colonial white, bamboo and desert sand. I challenged the gals to add another color or two depending on the photos they wanted to put with it. Here, Christy added the school color of Sunny Yellow with mat paper as well as stamping accents.
