Hello SCT friends! It”s Sheri Reguly here today, with a summer vacation layout to share with you. I love incorporating scenic shots into my layout designs. The majority of the time, I tend to print these images on a smaller scale, allowing my “portrait type” images to take center stage. This time, however, I decided to mix things up a bit.

I loved the look of the single palm tree against the bright sky and fluffy white clouds, and the image I snapped at the daiquiri bar, it contains pretty much every color in the rainbow. I opted to print these two snapshots in color, and make them my focal images, while converting my portrait shots to black and white and printing them as 2×2 supporting images.

This is a great little trick for when you have portrait type images that aren’t of the best quality, or even if they contain distracting objects/colors in the background.
