#44 Quirky Cropping! [Nov 13-19]

[happyrobyn]

Throw those rectangle and circle cropping tools out the window! This week, we are going to do some quirky cropping with our heritage pictures! You can either use your pen tool or your polygonal lasso tool to create your crazy crops. The idea is to crop your photo unevenly ... like you hacked it up with a pair of scissors! LOL! It will add lots of visual interest to your layouts.

The only other rule is to use photos from the 1970's or before. Have fun with this and let me know if you have any questions.

Here's my layout: Up A Tree in 1915 (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=26997&cat=500&ppuser=1707)

Could it be a journaling? I was just finished one for Aunt Evi, hope this is quirky enough, because she wouldn't have wings. :D

Congrats Robyn for beeing one of the winners of the ScrapArtist Apprentice. You ask for more quirky crops, well I had a few funny photo's about a dreamy Soccer Hero :D Soccer Hero (http://www.scrapartist.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=27327&nocache=1) . Unfortunately was our family sometimes a little crazy.

[happyrobyn]

HI Robyn

this is my cropping LO, I really dont know about it, cc would be valuable, i just dont like it. I want to do another one.

and this is last weeks, 70s, as you can see i cheated and did two 70s, but have combined the second one with the cropping challenge...

Oh i dunno what happened I thought i uploaded that one and it has disappeared so if you see me floating around where i shouldn't be, can you delete it please. LOL

hopefully my farm life will stop interfering with my scrapping in a week or two and things will get back to normal.

love everyone's LOs they are really fabulous.

thanks for the inspiration.
