Photographing your layout easily

Hi ! Caroline today on the blog. Today I'm giving you a few tips how to easily take the picture of your layout with an iPhone. There is no need of special equipment and fancy set-up to have a nice picture of your project. Here what I do.

With all the mixed media technique and watercolour effect sometime the corner of my page riffle a little bit. When it happen I use non permanent tape and stick my LO on a bigger surface, today I used a "pizza" box I just receive from my favourite scrapbook store full of goodies.

After I bring my set-up to the place when I have the most sun, most of the time I go in my sunroom, the more natural light, the better it is. I put my LO not directly in the sun to avoid shadow and on the floor, I found that this angle make the better photo. After I put my photo setting on Square (carré) so I don"t have top crop it after and I take a few shot.

After I use an app, ColorStory, to edit easily my picture, this app is really user-friendly. There is a lot of pre-made filter to adjust your photo. You can also crop if your need to. There is many other app available for little price.

and voilà my photo is ready to go online !

August video tutorial

Hello to all! It's me Maya here with a video tutorial of my new mixed media canvas "Beautiful Night" for you!

I am on the rock team, and our August song is "Because the Night" by Patti Smith. You can see more song interpretations from our DT members on the August 1st reveal and the August mid-month reveal. I was really inspired by the lyrics, so I created the night color background and interpreted the feeling of love as it was felt in the song. So, here is my canvas project "Beautiful Night"!

And here is the tutorial video. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you gained some inspiration from my video and our team reveals! Hope you all join us for some fun. Look forward to discovering your takes based on our songs in the August challenge and see you in our September Hop. It's gonna be fun! : )

August 1st Reveal

My mom used to say "Time flies when you're having fun."  Boy was she right!  Summer is flying by.  I have really been enjoying the summer, how about you?  I know I am in the USA and our seasons may be different than they are in different parts of the world.  That is the wonderful part of our challenge blog.  We are all from different parts of this big wonderful world and have different languages and different personalities but music ties us all.  Music has a way of taking us into a happy place and makes us feel better.  No matter what part of the world we are in, we can all come together with a melody and make something pretty.  So lets make something pretty!
Here are the songs for August:

"POP"

Meghan Trainor - "Better when I'm dancin' "

"ROCK"

 Patty Smith - "Because the night"

Now lets see what the first half of our design team has for your inspiration.

THE POP GIRLS

Marie Christine

I made an Art Journal page with the title about "Dancing".

Astrid

I found this photo which I took at the circus one time, thought it was some kind of dancing too.

Caroline

I use this part on the song for inspiration "Show the world you've got that fire" and for my tittle. The song is fun and happy so it's was natural to use those happy flashy color. 

THE ROCK GIRLS

Giorgia

I used this part on the lyrics for inspiration: "Love is a ring". So I created a wedding card. 

Kriszti

I was inspired this month by the video. The Circus is  an adorable and awesome world. I wanted to be for my layout a circus atmosphere.
I have used a big photo, and I stuck with a mostly black & pink color scheme with some gold & orange added in.
I added some of those gorgeous gold glitter Thickers to complete my layout.

Khristina

This month, I gathered my inspiration from the lyrics of this song. I wanted to create a dreamy layout about my son and his favorite stuffed animal that he goes absolutely everywhere with! Gold, black, and white were the perfect choices and my title was one of the lyrics from the song.
