8.23 Slow Scrap - Rule of Thirds

[scrapsandsass]

1. Pick a background paper. It doesn't matter if it is patterned or neutral. You will be putting a circular photo on the right side of the page, about 1/3 of the way down from the top. You will want to have the edge of your photo go just over the side of the page so it isn't a perfect circle.

2. Use another (medium) circular photo, paper circle or a large circular element and place it on the left edge of the page, at the lower third point (2/3 from the top). Also make it overlap the edge so it isn't a perfect circle.

3. Another circular element (or paper or photo)... smaller than the first two... on the bottom edge... 1/3 from the right side. Overlap the edge so it isn't a perfect circle.

4. Cluster some elements around the first (larger) circle photo on the right-hand side. Use 3-5 (or more if you really like clustering).

5. Put 1-3 elements (or more if you are a clusterer) around the left circle. And then add some journaling/text to the right of the (left) circle.

6. Add a title near the bottom circle/element, and a date below the first circle/photo (the one on the right edge).


You have 24 hours to complete your page and submit it to the gallery. Be sure to link back here so we can see it and not miss out on a prize (deadline is 8.24.16 @ 10pm EST/7 pm Pacific). Participants will receive a prize/gift coupon from Sara Gleason/Plant Your Story.


Here is more information on the Rule of Thirds and some sample images from the chat.

A gorgeous example of a pocket page using the Rule of Thirds




And some templates (SOSN) that have a lot of Rule of Thirds options. (Pssst. There's even a template there that you can tweak a bit that could make the slow scrap easier. )





And to give you something else to think about, here is an interesting article that totally goes against using the Rule of Thirds. LOL.

Thanks for letting me play along! After finding a picture that would work in a circle, I knew I wanted to work in a moon theme. My black cat's name, "Laila" means night, and "Laila tov" means good night. I tried to play off the moon theme by using a paper set to "darken 80%" in PSE to make an exaggerated crescent shadow. Loved learning how to work the Rule of 3rds into my layouts!

Here is mine- we are getting a new puppy next week, so I am going back through the "baby" photos of our dog now, from 10 years ago when he was an itty-bitty puppy. Wasn't he just adorable?

Here's mine... Circles and clusters aren't really my thing but I kinda like it.
