DHD iNSD Blog Hop

welcome to my blog... so glad you made it here & I hope you're having a great time "hopping" along, getting some great tips & tricks, challenges & collecting your letters so you can get your free {awesome} collab kit too...

Here's a layout I put together with the kit! my latest obsession in scrapbooking is trying my best to create a layered effect with patterned paper & elements under, around & on top of my photo{s}. it's really easy & I think it adds a lot of focus to the most important part of your page... the photo!

here's how I do it: I start with my photo. I love the look of a frame around my photos & it really compliments the layered look. This one I took with my iPhone & I processed it in an app called Instant 110. Then I always use my favorite shadow actions from Gen. For the photo I usually use the Paper Raised action & for most paper items below, like the flat elements & such, I use the Paper Flat action. You don't have to use the papers for pattern under your photos, either. Here I used a couple journaling cards under the photo & then added more elements on top of the photo to help with the layered look. I like to tilt things here & there to add a more relaxed look to the page. Have you tried adding more layers to your layout?

OK, so now some fun stuff...

MY challenge to you for the iNSD Layout Challenge: use at least 3 {three} different patterns on your layout.

{Layout Challenge: To be entered into the drawing for a digital photo frame, you will need to complete a layout meeting all 26 of the challenges you find at each of the blog stops}. More info on the DHD Blog.

Hi, Robyn, I don't know if I'll be in time for this challenge to win two of your kits... I live in Belgium, and there will be a time gap. I tried all day yesterday to find a link to the blog hop, I wrote a message to Gennifer, and she said it started only at 5 P.M., but I guess it was much later here in Belgium. I shut off the computer at about 9 o'clock yesterday evening. Right now, it's Thursday and it's exactly 9.23 in the morning. Hope I still have a chance, I really like your style!

My post is too late for the contest, but I love your kits. What with my 7 year old's baseball game, a quick shower to clean him up, get him to bed and hubby wanting to watch a movie...well, I wasn't able to participate this time. I hope everyone had fun!
