Photos in scrapbooks don't have to be special occasion photos, such as holidays, birthdays or vacations.  They can be everyday mundane parts of life.  And sometimes these moments are more memorable than last year's family Christmas party.

This layout features a photo of a client's daughter and her friends eating donuts in a parking lot.  It's obviously a candid photo as one girl is in the midst of biting into her donut.  I kept the colors simple, taking inspiration from the photo: grey asphalt, tan slats of a building; then added a touch of blue and yellow for small punches of color.


This layout was very simple to make.  I inked the edges of the background paper and then used a  black watercolor paint and the bottom of a plastic cup to make the cup rings, stamping it onto the background paper.  I added a few splatters for good measure then layered on other patterned papers under the photo matted on black cardstock.


I then made a mini manilla folder, splattering it with ink and added a cardstock title to the outside.  Clipped to the inside are a few strips of Tim Holtz filmstrip with other photos from the album.  To finish the layout off, I added a few stickers, some brads, enamel dots, flowers and a cork camera.
