Hi, Chantal from Chunlin Designs here!
Welcome to my CREATIVELY CROPPED Challenge.
Instead of using our photographs full size, we will be cropping them to up-level our digital scrapbooking pages.
Make photo cropping an intentional part of your layout.
Cropping a photo in digital scrapbooking is like giving it a makeover! Here's why it's awesome:
Zooming In:
Ever wanted to highlight just the best part of a photo?
Cropping lets you do just that! Say goodbye to distracting backgrounds or random people photobombing your shot.
Cutting Out Clutter:
Got a cluttered background ruining your perfect shot?
No worries! Cropping helps you clean up the mess and keep the focus on what matters.
Getting Creative:
Want to play around with different angles and perspectives? or zoom in for a dramatic effect?
Emotional Impact:
Sometimes, it's all about capturing the feelings.
Cropping lets you zoom in on those priceless expressions or tiny details that make the moment special.
So, whether you're telling a story or just jazzing up your scrapbook, cropping is your secret weapon for making your photos pop!
I realised I crop a lot in my layouts, here are some examples:
This is my new layout for this challenge:
After 5 years without a dog, we finally brought a golden retriever puppy home last September.
In the layout, Bean is 9 weeks old.
I cropped all 3 photos but here's the original of the middle one:
I used my collection It's a gorgeous day
Do you want to play? It's easy!
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CROP AT LEAST ONE PHOTO ON YOUR LAYOUT!
That's it! The way you do it is up to you!
Are you ready?
One last thing, I might ask you to post your original photo if the crop isn't clear to me.
If you have any questions, just post them in this thread.
Here's a tutorial I found online, it shows different ways of cropping:
