The subject of my layout is my little man. Recently he had a little run in with his cubby house window and the ground. Let’s just say he likes to test boundaries all the time and unfortunately it didn’t go in his favour. A trip to the GP (doctor) resulted in him having a bandage on his head to stop the bleeding and assist the wound to heal. It looks like it was a lot more serious by the bandage on his head however it was covering approx a 1cm cut. This little man barely shed a tear and was so brave that I just had to document this moment in his life.
Here is the layout I created:


Here is some close ups of those extra photos and the journaling.





Ouch!

As you can can see by creating this flip up I was able to add multiple photos to this page without overcrowding the initial design.
Another fun addition to the page that you may notice as well is the extra three photos on the bottom right of the page that I added in the form of the ‘photo negative strip’ from the ephemera pack. In previous layouts I had only used the negative strip pieces on ephemera packs as layering tools so it was fun to use it in its literal sense on a page. To print photos to fit I measured the negative space and then added that as a custom size in my photo printing software. Excitedly this worked and the photos fit perfectly. Not only was I able to add an extra few photos to the page but it also acted as a tool to balance the top heaviness of the top of the layout and the embellishing.

I also added wood veneer in the three main clusters on the page. This compliments the wood pattern of the Plus One patterned paper.



Here’s a quick little glimpse at how the hidden photos and journaling look and work on the page:
Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope I have been able to show you some fun ways to include more photos on a single page layout.
