Tip: Can you tell where the inspiration for this page came from? Along the trail many of the walls looked distressed (You can see this best on the wall in the center photograph), so I decided to do the same look on this page as well. When taking photographs, take a look at your surroundings and see what inspires you for your next page.

Symmetrical Photo Collage

Page Pattern Description:

    This is a symmetrical Page pattern with some Mosaic accents. When a page is symmetrical, this means it looks exactly the same on both sides (this is the case if you split the page vertically in half). This pattern has a focal point, which is the 6.625w x 4.375h block near the top center of the page. Having one main focal point is a great option if you have one particular photograph that you want to stand out. Here I wanted most of the attention to be on the Governor's Palace at Colonial Williamsburg.

    Above the focal point is a 6.625w x 1 in. strip. This is a perfect space for a title or journaling. On the left and right sides are mosaic accents. Use these spots for close up shots, a landscape (what I did on my page below), or pattern paper (if you do not have a photograph to add in these spots). 

    The Center Row of this page features a 4.375w x 3.25h block in the center and two 3.25 squares on both sides of it. Use the center for another stand out photograph. I really wanted some attention on the cute sheep, so I put him in the center. A bonus was also using pattern paper as the background, instead of a solid color Paper Tile - this gives the photo a little more attention.

    The bottom row only has two 5.5w x 2.125h blocks. I love this size because your photos get a panoramic effect. Choose photographs that you want to give an elongated look.

"Winter in Williamsburg" - This layout is on Storm 12x12 Grid paper (currently unavailable on Snapncrop... check back soon!). The title and the Focal point are on Robin's Egg Paper Tiles™. An added embellishment was BasicGrey™ pattern paper. This was used as a photo background and as an accent for the focal point.

Photo Tip: Take photographs right after a snowfall for winter pages. This is a good time since the snow hasn't become dirty and uneven yet. These photographs were taken the morning after a snow storm. Notice how beautiful the snow is? Don't wait! Take snow photos as soon as you can for a Winter Wonderland Page.
