NSD Crop Challenge | Line It Up with Lisa Truesdell

Tags:

Hey, all! I know that one of the biggest challenges with starting a project is figuring out where to put everything. A blank background can be daunting! The next time you're pondering just where to start—why not try lining it up?

For this page, I started with a series of photos from our trip to Denver last summer. After shifting them around my page for a bit, I realized that they'd have a much bigger impact if I grouped them together. I lined them up in a row down my background paper and loved the effect.

To loosen up the lines a bit, I messy stamped a mat for my row of photos with the ledger stamp from the Bistro add-on. I adhered all my photos right down the middle of the stamping, and then began filling in around them with embellishments and bits of patterned paper—and I couldn't resist going for a bit of a rainbow effect in the process!

While I used photos for this challenge, there are so many possibilities. Line up pieces of patterned paper, or enamel dots, or a stamp. I can't wait to see what you create!

When you complete this challenge, upload it to the member gallery and leave a link to your project in the comments below. See ALL of the crop challenges here.
