4x6 Photo love with 6 photos

When I saw Shimelle's design for this month's photo love I thought I had come unstuck.  I had lovingly chosen 6 photos especially with this in mind, all taken the Sunday of the joint celebrations for my sister's 40th wedding anniversary and my god daughter's christening.  Can you imagine how my heart sank when I saw the design was for six portrait pictures when mine were landscape?  I heard a little voice in my head saying 'Go on, freestyle it, you know you want to ...' and next thing I knew I was at the Eclectic crop, with papers on the desk and photos in place.
Bearing in mind it should have been a row of portrait pictures, I think the alternative came out ok.  I like the blocky feel to the pages.

  1. That's just turning the sketch by 90 degrees and is a perfect way to deal with photos in the "wrong" orientation! Kudos!

  6. Sometimes it doesn't work to turn a sketch and I really would never have thought of turning a double page like you did but I think it works brilliantly. And I still recognised it from the sketch too! Well done. I'm doing mine this weekend.
