If you're the type of person who loves to cook with recipes, I'll bet that you'll also love The Designing with Recipe Book by Autumn Leaves. It offers the ingredients and preparation instructions for a great layout EVERY time...no guess work involved here!The book contains 6 chapters based on the number of photos you wish to include in your entree (aka 'layout'):
Chapter 1 - One Photo Layouts
Chapter 2 - Two Photo Layouts
Chapter 3 - Three Photo Layouts
Chapter 4 - Four Photo Layouts
Chapter 5 - Five Photo Layouts
I bet you caught the pattern there. :-) And for those of you that just love scrapping up a storm with a ton of ingrediants -
Chapter 6 - Multi-Photo Layouts
In the final chapter, there are layouts with as many as 15 photos!!
Throughout each chapter, the examples come with four basic componants:
- a sketch of the layout
- a beautiful example from one of the 11 very talented scrap artists featured in this book (see list of artists below)
- details on any special techniques used on the sample layout
- and finally, a detailed 'recipe' which acts as a guide in explaining the process of creating the layout in easy to follow steps
The book includes work from the following amazing artists: Cathy Blackstone, Emily Falconbridge, Jackie Bonette, Jennifer McGuire, Kelli Crowe, Leslie Lightfoot, Lisa Russo, Margie Scherschligt, Mellette Berezoski, Robyn Werlich, and Tia Bennett.
In all, there are 93 layouts - some traditional, some hybrid and some entirely digital...and all inspiring!
