To learn about the design principles I used in this layout, you can watch the previous episode of Paperclipping, Episode 19.
Today’s Tip
I wanted current, individual photos of each of my siblings and myself for this layout, but most of the shots I had were of groups of us. So, I punched squares through the group photos until I had an individual picture of each sibling. I love the group photos I ruined to get the individual shot, but I have no worries. I can go right back to my photo developer and print another copy.
Blog Note: Did you know you can enlarge most of the photos and layouts I post on my blog? If you don’t use Flickr for your online photos, you may not know how to do this. Click on the layout you want enlarge. You will see the same size of the layout on my Flickr page.
Above the layout is a button that says, “All Sizes.” Click that button and then click the button that says, “Original.”

Together Again
12×12 Two-page layout
Journaling reads: It’s been years since we were all together in one place. Longer than that is the time it has been since we took a family picture….ten years! Getting all of the siblings together in one time and place is difficult. Mom and Dad live in Kansas City. Erin and I are in Arizona. Chad found his happy place in San Diego. Blake is settling in Utah. And Lindsay is hanging out in Michigan while Trent is in law school. Unsure when our chance will be to get together as a complete family again, we had the best time in Arizona for Thanksgiving. It is definitely something to be very grateful for.
