It isn’t every day you get your picture taken with Spiderman. Or that Spiderman gives you a lift. I was lucky enough to get a ride, and it was definitely a scrapworthy moment.

Let’s talk about the layout.

• I used this sketch for my layout. Since I didn’t have two photos for my page, I used one photo along with a 4 x 6 card.
• I have mixed feelings about the text paper I used as the background paper. It’s a great pattern, but I think the two patterned papers with text on them compete a bit. If I were doing it over, I’d probably choose something different for the background.
• Speaking of do-overs, I’d probably find another place for the journaling. I feel like it’s all crowded in the spot available for it. I might have done hidden journaling underneath the photo or on a tag tucked behind the photo. But I don’t dislike this page enough to redo it.

Thanks so much for visiting. Until next time. 🙂

Sometimes I scrapbook amazing photos that are almost artistic. Then there are photos like this . . .

As you can see, it’s not a perfect photo. But I love the story behind it, and that’s why I scrapbooked it. Let’s talk about the layout.

• I did a lot of multimedia on this page. I started by adding ink to the background and then layering gold texture paste in three places on the layout.
• I used this layout as inspiration for the design of my page.
• The wood veneer pieces were the last things I added to this layout. They add a nice bit of dimension.
• I’m including a closeup of the journaling below so you can read the story behind the photo. My sister and I laughed so much when I went through my photos later and we saw this one.

If you have a few minutes, I hope you’ll check out the process video.
