Here is my layout using one photo for both a background and embellishment stack.
-
Your challenge today is to use the same photo multiple times on your layout. You can use more than one photo, but one photo must be used more than once. I can't wait to see your creative layouts!
Ideas:
*Use the same photo in color and black and white (or other photo treatment)
*Use a photo in the background as well as the main photo
*Highlight different aspects of the same photo by creatively cropping or framingPost your layouts in the Weekly Newsletter Challenge Gallery and post a link back in this thread.

You made it in time!!! I won’t be home until Monday (tomorrow) now so it was perfect timing. I k ow you have your hands full!!

Please remember: It is easiest for me if you use your name or user name + the Recipe name (SodScrap_YummyFood) as the file name on your recipe. (I may change it to make it easier for me to track if you don't.)
This may seem silly, but it helps me a TON if your user name is first! Thank you!!

Ladies, I'm out of town with less than reliable internet!! I will not be able to send out recipes until Sunday night or possibly Monday. If you see this and have another recipe to submit, I will take those cards! Also, I will give you a little extra time to get your quarterly layouts done and submitted if you would like. In the meantime, I will post the August swap so you can get started on that.

Is this a memory issue with your computer? I'd be sure trash is empty and temporary files are deleted. BUT, what do I know??? Hope it is fixed!

This layout is a little wild, but I loved the sweet photos.

Great layers ladies!!

I had saved up to the last touches, clicked to save the final and somewhere between the old and new it all got erased....poof! Out in virtual no-where land! I at least have a supply list so recreating it won't be as hard as the original. GRRRRRRR.....
Oh no!!! Sorry this happened, Ann.

Here is another layout

Here is my layout featuring a recipe from @podiumchick from years ago. It is a favorite of mine.

3 hours ago, alsoarty said:HERE is my layout - I tried to use all the colors of the rainbow, and Ginny's tears paper were perfect, they are 2 layers each. I counted - phew! 66 layers (including the text).
I was going to mention paper tears as a way to add layers but I forgot. Thank you for sharing.

I should have counted my embellishments and text layers as well!

Peanut Butter Sheet Cake goes so well with the homemade vanilla ice cream!!

I am a big-time layer user and often have so many it’s hard to keep track. A few tips I have are that when I have multiple layers, I will rename some of them to find things easier - especially the little items which are hard to see.
I’ll also lock pieces that go together so when I move them they all move at once.
And, very often when scrapping I will use a layer and not like it, or duplicate one in case I make a mistake on the original, or even try a few different layers to see what I prefer. I end up turning off the eye on the ones I don’t want - and then end up with a large amount of unseen layers. Jody showed me once that if I go to my layers panel (I’m in PSE 13) and click the down arrow on the 3 little lines - there will be a “delete hidden layers” option which gets rid of all those layers I don’t want to keep in one swoop. It’s usually one of the last things I do on a page and saves a lot of time and effort.
Awesome tips, Marilyn! THANK YOU! I have a script that I use to delete layers, but this seems even easier!! I never really thought of renaming layers, that's brilliant!!

Thank you Marilyn-I'm still not convinced I explained it well. 🤦🏼♀️

Great minds think alike! I will have to try this for sure!

This is always a hit Vanilla Ice Cream

Here is mine: My Kitten Bandit
I combined the base layers of Angie's (retired) SSDLOT Album Series 11 with the LO template from Connie's template Overlay Play 6 using the photo placement and layers as well as the blending layers. I counted 14 paper layers not including the photos and their mats.

Layers, layers, layers. We all use them on each and every layout. Today's challenge is to create a layout using "lots of layers". Layers can be used to create embellishment clusters or to create interesting backgrounds with layered paper templates. You can stack papers for the background, or add layers of papers under your framed photo(s). Create a collage paper. Really, the number of layers and possibilities are endless! I'd love to hear any tips or tricks you have when using layers. Let's see how many layers we can use breaking out of our "typical" scrapping design and try something new.
Please post you layout in the Weekend Wildcard Gallery and post a link back here to share. ALSO-please tell us how you used layers.
Here are some blog links to help you out:

I love the layered background in Angie's template set:
These templates from Ginny have lots of layers:
The paper strips under these photos in these sample layouts here are stunning! (I'm not going to lie-I wish these were layout templates...lol!!)
