STS SS#58

Last night Alicia and I participated in the SS at StufftoScrap.

Here are the instructions:
1 -Pick 2 photos from the same event with people in them
2 -Pick 4 papers – 2 plain and 2 pattern. Use one of the plain papers as your background paper and place your 2 photos side by side on it close to each other but not overlapping. You can use your 2nd plain paper to mat your photos if you want
3 -Cut your 2 pattern papers into strips (one of each paper). They should be different lengths and widths. Place the 2 strips together slightly overlapping on one side of your photos (above, below or to one side). Pick a coordinating ribbon and put it with those two strips slightly overlapping one of them. So you will have 3 strips – 2 paper and 1 ribbon.
4 -Put your journaling words on little strips of paper on top of where the 2 photos are almost touching each other. These should be on the 2nd piece of plain paper and you should have 5-10 lines of journaling, just a couple of words on each piece of paper. So your pieces should be around ¼” tall and ¾” – 1 1/2” wide. So they should all be stacked on top of each other with a little space in-between over the top of where those two photos meet up with each other
5 -At the end of where your paper strips/ribbon are, make a cluster using at least 4 embellishments and try adding a big letter (monogram) from alpha or you can use a font. The letter could be the initial of the last name of the people in your pictures.
6 -Add a tab with the date or a subtitle poking out from under one of your photos and add at least 3 more embellishments somewhere else around your layout. It can be another cluster, or something to “hold” your photos down or whatever you feel it needs
7 -Add drop shadows, save your layout, upload to your gallery with keyword ss

This is what I came up with.
