I did this one yesterday inspired by the sketch at Studio Calico for 5/29. Here's what I do: I stack the two photos on top of each other and separate them with strips of patterned paper (there I am, stripping again, LOL!). I tend to put the title near those strips.More recent evidence:
I added more clusters with this one, plus misting, but it's the same design. I used a lot of stickers instead of paper, this time from Webster's Pages Spring Market collection.
This one is older. I trimmed the photos to cut down on distracting backgrounds and mounted it on a mat. I'm thinking this too might have taken design elements from a Studio Calico sketch?It doesn't always have to be 4x6 to use this design idea:
Anyone else like Project Runway? I decided to make a page about this obsession of a show. Plus, I kept getting dressmaker's dummies in kits (I hate to sew), so I decided I had to figure out a way to use them.
Here I'm using the idea, but I stacked two 4x6 pieces of patterned paper and lay the one photo over it.And now the giveaway!
I have some lovely Studio Calico and October Afternoon paper and products to send one reader. Leave a comment telling me something you tend to do on your pages, and I'll draw a random winner on Wednesday June 8th (ETA at 8 PM CST)! Be sure to check back this week and see if you won.

I love it - it's a classic design that look different with the details! Design-wise, I don't have anything that I do all the time. But I do love stitching and I do it often, in some way or another.
I have a tendency to go for photo blocks/collages. I am always looking to fit one more photo on the page. Great stuff here today - especially like the clean design of your project runway page! Going to my faves!
i always follow a sketch and usually have to add some sort of die cut from my cricut. thanks for the chance to win.
Wow, my 2 favorite SB lines! I would love to be the winner!
I always use Kraft paper on almost every layout, for the backround or just a scrap piece. I love it!
I use a grid on layouts all the time. Sometimes it's a grid of photos, others it's a grid of patterned papers or embellishments. I love a grid!
funny! I know we all have habits like that... mine are that I love to use my sewing machine on just about every layout, lots of patterned paper, and I use my Tiny Attacher a lot.
I keep using kraft cardstock and have a hard time not doing it!
Kind of ironic, since I have thousands of dollars in sewing machines, that I have just now started stiching on pages, now it seems I do it all the time. My daughter and I have been scrapping a lot lately, she's 15 and I totally love the time we have been spending together.
I tend to mat most of my photos, they seem bare if I don't....I am using more sketches than when I first started scrapping and continue to study some of my favorite scrappers, which you are one of those, to ideas!!
I definitely am like you and use the same arrangement. I am also doing a lot of matting. I am getting better at finding new sketches online to do different arrangements.
All great LOs and if you weren't thinking of it.. you wouldn't know!!! I tend to use a lot of the same embellishments. Thanks for the chance Jennifer!
i tend to fall in love with patterned papers, but then only use a small bit on a layout :p
btw your layouts are very nice... my fav is the "cousins" layout, pretty colors!
recently i have been sewing alot on my pages and doodeling.
great LO's i love how you used that dresswork dummy, i always struggle when i get them in a kit.
I love your Reader and Work layouts! What a versatile sketch/technique!
Hey, when you're on a good thing, why change it? They're all great layouts, & different from each other as well. I have to have a frame around my layouts always, whether it be trimming the page & sticking it down on another piece of 12 x 12 paper, or pieces of paper sewn around the edges, ala Gluestickgirl.
I tend to use alot of twine on my pages and love playing with ribbons.
Thanks for the chance to get some new happy scrappy stuff.
I tend to use a lot of photos on my pages and feel greatly challenged with a mind block when I just want to use two pictures. I will have to print your ideas. Thanks!
i tend to do a lot of clustering. thanks so much for the chance to win!
I enjoy going back to a favorite sketch/LO and replicating it--why not? Thanks for the chance at the RAK.
I can't NOT splatter a little mist somewhere on the page it seems lately. And sewing is almost a must, too! Thanks for the chance to win! :)
checked my recent LOs to see if there was a certain design I used often. And, yes, there is. The Grid. Often with 4 pictures, but also with three and one spot used for journaling.
Love your layouts. I tend to mat all of my photos and usually do very symmetrical layouts.
I tend to distress EVERYTHING ha. I can't help it. If I don't I feel as if my layout isn't finished. I blame the awesome Tim Holtz for this :) thanks for the chance!
Fantastic LOs! Thanks for the chance to win Jennifer!!!
I am pretty consistent in how I do my titles. Definitely tend to use the little ledger letters as the small words in my title.
I love all of these!! They have the same basic design, but each has a different feel and is beautiful in its own right!!
I would say that the thing I am most consistent with is hand journaling...if a layout has journaling 9.5x out of 10 it is handwritten!!
Thanks for the chance at some goodies!! :)
Funny you should ask! I noticed recently that I tend to be a horizontal scrapper with two or three pictures going across the page. I am trying to break out of my shell and do some vertical layouts so I just may scraplift your design (with credit of course)!
I almost always use a title cut with my Cricut and because my handwriting is so bad I usually do computer journaling.
What a fantastic giveaway! Thanks, Jennifer!
I like white borders on my photos and using common margins. I also tend to line up or block my photos together to give them more cohesion.
hmmmm I tend to put the pictures right in the middle of the page. I rarely remember to move them them to a corner or tilt them.
Love this! I would use this on my LO's for my summer pics!
I am guilty of this as well! I tend to use smaller images that I reduce in photosheet and line 3 of them up in a horizontal line. My pages usually are on a solid cardstock with a block of patterned paper. And don't forget the flowers! :)
Whether the design is repetitive or not your layouts are always great. I can't think of anything that I do all the time on mine. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
Wow- I LOVE your "repeated" pattern!! I tend to use a lot of matting my photos and using "random" paper pieces, like strips and squares. I like misting too. Thanks for the chance to WIN some OA and SC goodies- I love BOTH of those companies!!!!
My go to technique on almost every lo is some kind of outlining with a brown or black pen...I just love the look that it adds! :) Thanks for the giveaway!
Love your design. I may try it out this week!
I just posted on my blog about my tendency to use multiple fonts/styles on my titles.
I always tend to follow the same layout designs..need to branch out!!
I tend to lift LOs...can't seem to create on my own...Thanks for the chance to win these goodies...
Thanks for a chance to win!! Looking at my layouts, I've realized I almost always use flowers! I also usuallyo mat my photos, and hand stitching is pretty much a must, too!
Looks like you found something that works well. Love that design for 2 4x6's. May have to borrow it.
I tend to always end up using mist. I just love the texture it bring.
i'm a kraft and tape fan, so I use it on most of my layouts. Thanks for the chance.
I tend to stare at my CS & pics for a REALLY LONG time b4 doing something I'm about to regret. Other than that, I tend to use spray mists!
I just realized that i tend to put my photos on the right in almost every single layout! Thanks for the chance to win!
I think all your layouts are great - if that formula works for you and the end result is that you get more memories saved and photos scrapped then I think you should stick to it!
I am obsessed with kraft cardstock cannot stop using it for EVERYTHING. Thanks for the chance to win some fun goodies!!!
thanks for the giveaway...you will usually find hand stitching and a border around the outside edge.
Great layouts! I have a lot like this too. I always use white or kraft cardstock and pieces of patterned paper and letter stickers! Thanks for the chance.
These days, I tend to be using a lot of borders on my pages.
I love using kraft and white gel pens on my projects.
I love all these layouts. Even though you used the same design, they all look so different.
