Today we share some projects from Jing-Jing Nickel's deep vault of October Afternoon projects. Jing-Jing has been a long time fan of October Afternoon and has made some pretty amazing projects throughout the years!
First is a pocket size summer mini-album. Jing-Jing uses the Cherry Hill collection to make this cute little mini. It is simple and effective: some patterned papers on the left and the photo on the right for each page. A few OA sticker elements for the journaling and voila, it's done.
On the next layout, Jing-Jing uses the Campfire collection to document a summer trip to Yellowstone National Park. This collection is really perfect for those scenic photos. The giant tree, which is available in the Shape Stickers as well as in the Chip 'N Stick, is the most perfect accent for these photos. Add the adorable owl and fox, and we got ourselves a party in the wild!
Lastly, Jing-Jing documents her family's summer garden in this bright and cheerful layout published in the June 2010 issue of Scrapbooking Trends. Notice the similarities in page design between this layout and the Campfire one. According to her, this is a go-to sketch for Jing-Jing. She merges her photos onto a single 4x6 print which gets her two photos for the price of one. Sometimes smaller photos are more flexible and easier to work with than strictly 4x6 prints. Jing-Jing uses a free downloadable program Picasa to merge the photos, no fancy software or complicated steps needed.
That's it for today. All of us at October Afternoon hope that you have a wonderful Easter weekend!
