Quadrant Layout

[A-to-Z]

Hey guys and gals! I thought I would post a layout I did during the retreat based on Catherine's class about quadrants. She did a great job and I'm really happy with the way this turned out.

[caulensmom]

Omg thats so cool! ......is it sad that I was there and have NO idea what Quadrants are...eek...super embarassing. haha

[Jenny McDonald]

Super cute! Don't feel bad Amy I'm in the same boat!

[caulensmom]

Super cute! Don't feel bad Amy I'm in the same boat!

Awesome...lets google it! hahaha:D

[Jenny McDonald]

Sounds good. Maybe we'll figure it out and then we can pretend we knew what it was all along.

[caulensmom]

So I searched in Wikipedia for Quadrants and the page that came up had a whole bunch of lines and numbers on it...so I closed the page super fast..HAHAHA I am definently mathtarded.:cheer::cheer:

[Jenny McDonald]

ME TOO! Maybe that's why we get along so well.

[caulensmom]

ME TOO! Maybe that's why we get along so well.

no way! Jenny.....*high five* :D

[Jenny McDonald]

Right back at ya kid. How's Caulen doing? Is he acting like himself now that your home?

[Jill]

Amy, I love it! I watched you make it during the retreat and admired it as you went. Cute little cowboy!

[Alyson]

Amy, your page turned out super cute! I love the faded pics of your nephew, and the way the photo is framed on three sides with the bottom torn. What a cute pic and title too!

I was actually able to catch most of the class about quadrants! It was an awesome class, and I can't wait to try the technique. Amy (CM) and Jenny, quadrants are just splitting the page into four sections. It can be evenly split into four squares, split into two squares and two rectangles, or any number of other ways.

[A-to-Z]

Thanks! Amy and Jenny quadrants are just the idea of separating your layout into four pieces.

Amy Cute layout. I love how you put him in the background too. What a cute cowboy pirate!

[Jenny McDonald]

Thanks guys for telling us this! Now I'm feeling stupid because it sounds so simple now!

Cute layout Amy, I liked that class too. Love your avatar

[brookiewookie]

Great job Amy! I wish I could've finished at least ONE layout that weekend, but nope! :)

[caulensmom]

Amy I am still looking at your layout and its so sweet!! I dunno what you did with the photo to make your little cowboy stand out, but that is unreal! HA

[rizkid22]

This is one that I finished. It still looks a little unfinished, but I'm sick of looking at it, so I'm done.

[JoDee:)]

Kristal So cute!!! Love the extraction and the folded stich corner cute. And of course alpha!!!

[Kelli West]

Kristal I think i remember seeing you work on that page up at the retreat!! love it! I like how you did the extraction, and the big S!!! Also, the color choices were good!! thanks for sharing!!

[chryslergreen]

cute Kristal, I love your combination of pattern papers.

[LucyLu]

Kristal.. love it ... love the bent stiched corner

[Tanya.72]

Hi! That page is super cute! I love it! I am new to this whole digital scrapbooking thing and I am trying to decide what cds to purchase. We are way into the cowboy thing so I was wondering where you got that cowboy stuff?? Thanks!

[digimad]

In looking at Amy's layout I can see things from the Playground CD and the Oh Boy! CD and from the Garden Beginner CD. Did I miss any? I think there may be some things from other designers/kits as well.

[chryslergreen]

If you are new the beginner CDs are great b/c they have some awesome video tutorials on there. Although I don't think any of them have cowboy-ish stuff. For the more boy-ish I think the Playground and the Oh Boy CDs are my favorites. But seriously - just get them all! :D

[Alyson]

Kristal, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, the extraction is great!! The whole layout is so cute and the pictures are adorable!!

[rizkid22]

Thanks Alyson! Love your new avatar!

[Shellie]

This is one that I finished. It still looks a little unfinished, but I'm sick of looking at it, so I'm done.

So adorable!!

[Kelli West]

Here is a layout I just finished. Everything is from the Family Ties cd! Thanks April, I love it!

[Alyson]

Looks great Kelli! Very cute pictures and I love the title/journaling block. Awesome job Kelli!!

[chryslergreen]

Kelli - so cute! This is one of my favorites of yours. The design just makes those photos shine!

[LucyLu]

kelli... so cute... i am having a hard time with the quadrant thing... but I do like your take on it

[rizkid22]

I love it Kelli!! It is a nice, clean LO that really lets the pictures take center stage. Awesome!!

[Kim Hansen]

You girls are so good with your quadrants.

Catherine--excellent layout design. Thanks for teaching us this.

[A-to-Z]

Kristal great extraction and color choices! Kelli great job...your layout features those pictures so well!

Thanks everyone for your nice comments! To answer a few questions...Amy (caulensmom) I made him pop by using the magnetic lasso tool to outline him and then selected the inverse and used the gaussian blur just to make the background a little fuzzy and then I selected just his face and sharpened it a little. If you want a more detailed description let me know and I will do one.

Madeline is right...the stuff is from the Playground, Oh Boy and Garden CDs...and there are a few other things from other designers. If you want to know about those PM me and I will give tell you.

[RubySass]

Great layouts! I started a few projects in Park City- I hope I finish something!!!

[Quinn]

Amy! That's a fabulous page! Love how it all came together! Hooray!

Kristal... how fun! I also saw you working on that LO at the retreat & was secretly anxious to see it complete! It's gorgeous!!!

Kelli, what a lovely page! I just love all the soft colors & how classic it looks. Great job!
