OUR STORY

2-Page Layout Tutorial


Papercrafting With Gayle 

This "Our Story" layout was inspired by a project we made at the 2016 Close To My Heart Convention.  My hope is that you are able to use the designs featured in this blog as a springboard of inspiration for your papercrafting!  

On the first page, I've decided to showcase one larger photo along with a space for a journal entry.  Then, on the opposite side, the layout is designed for 3 additional photos.  However, you could easily have 3 of the 4" x 3" photos across the top and a couple of 4" x 4" photos beneath, by simply rearranging the title on this layout.  

Enjoy!
