Hi Newbies, I'm here working on my 365 page layout challenge for 2019! I will try to link all of the items used so you know what I used (and possibly where I bought them) just in case you decide you like any of it.
This week I decided to try something new...8 x 8 Layouts. Now some of you might be saying how hard could that be. Well, not so sure "harder" would be the word but never doing one before I made it "harder" in my head. So lesson #1 for this blog would be...don't be afraid to try something you have never tried before. That goes for anything in life...just go for it! You never know how it will turn out or what you will learn from it or the experience you might get from it.
If you have been following my blogs you know that I usually do the 12 x 12 layouts (and use the ENTIRE space) and possibly throw in a hand made card or two just to get me out of my comfort zone.
These 8 x 8's for me were "hard" because I could only use 1 picture if I kept it at the 4x6, and very little embellishing. I really wanted to do a baby album for my one and only grand-daughter and knew if I started at the 12 x 12 it would eventually have its own zip code so I said to myself, self, why not use an 8x8 album? So I did, and eventually fell in L-O-V-E with doing 8x8's!
I was able to do an entire 20 page layout in less than a week, my goal was the weekend...and that was a big fat FAIL! Waah, waah, waah...but I didn't stop and I ended up finishing it in less than a week!
I knew I definitely wanted to do some mixed media on some of them since space was limited and I wanted to make sure it was as pretty as it could be and not just a picture on a page. And by mixed media. I meant, it was mostly that awesome Nuvo Mousse I bought from Sparkle N Sprinkle! I just can't get enough of it!
So here they are:

I also tried to put Washi tape down both sides of the pic but didn't like it (and here is LESSON 3 for this album); DON'T BE IN A HURRY TO DO YOUR LAYOUT, if the background is still wet, even Washi tape will tear the page/paint off. I liked the look so I kept it. It looks like the tear technique. So I guess LESSON 3 for this layout, just because it isn't what what you meant it to be, if you like it, keep it!
