Over the years working as a scrapbook teacher I have noticed a couple of things:
Problem #1:
A lot of our older photos feature a lot of background (often messy) and a tiny subject. I'm talking about your toddler doing something adorable, but you can hardly see them.
Solution:
Using those photos on a pie chart, gives us the chance to zoom right in and you can use more than one photo.
Problem #2:
There is this privacy problem. You can't show off photos with other people's kids without permission and it can make scrapbooking a little tricky.
Or maybe you have a few embarrassing shots of the above mentioned adorable toddler you want to keep for their 21st birthday, but they aren't for all to see?
Solution:
Hide them! It's obvious of course and there are many cool ways to create pockets to open flaps to lift and here is one:
(I have blurred the faces for the above reason)
So if you have a few cool potty training photos, uncles and aunties from your wedding you'd rather not display or just plain old too many photos to chose from, grab a cardstock, photos and some scraps; join me in class next week and we will create this pretty page! It can be made boyish without trouble.
Love the background. The pie chart looks great.
