Band #1: Let the photos themselves form the band; perfect for three 4x6 vertical photos.
Band #2: Combine the photos with patterned paper for a blocked/band design
Band #3: Same idea as above, using squares and a vertical orientation
Band #4: Bands are a great way to show off a series of action shots
Band #5: Create the band with patterned paper and layer everything else on top
Band #6: Brand New Page! Same idea as above, horizontal orientation
Band #7: Brand New Page! I put my Silhouette to work to create this open, airy band.
These are just a few ideas for the band design. Like all my other Go Do Designs, I created a Pinterest board with lots more examples. Is the band a design in your scrapping tool box?
Wow - Fab work!!!
ReplyDeletelove looking at all your layouts- awesome
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing! I love all your layouts, and how each looks so different!
ReplyDeleteLove your LOs! I don't think i use the band a whole lot. I need to go look. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove all the layouts! I use this design too when I have 3 vertical pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas and especially the reminder to go up town and take photos. We have a cute town square and it would make for awesome pages. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteI love band layouts! Love to take elements all the way to the edge of the page. Such a great variety of examples you've provided, Sue. My favorite is the Chapel Hill page with the Silhouette die cut. Love the idea of an 'airy' band.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all of these layouts. Quite a bit of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove your layout examples! And I do love the Band as a design element. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the band design as well! Great mix of layouts! tfs!
ReplyDeleteOh, lots of good examples. You make me want to jump on the band bandwagon!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous, I love that you show so many examples, and none of them look the same!
ReplyDeleteGreat layouts! I never really thought about it before, but I use this all the time too. For me it helps ground the entire layout. Love your examples and that last layout with the airy band is my fave! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat examples of the band design, Sue! I always love your great eye for colors on your layouts!
ReplyDeleteI know you say it's one of your go to designs, but you make every one look different :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous pages, Sue. They all use the same design concept, yet each has its own unique and wonderful personality.
ReplyDeleteGreat examples of a wonderful design concept!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of the "Go To Designs" series. :) I think it's very cool to see all your examples together - it really illustrates that using the same idea over and over will NOT make your pages all look the same.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great design used so many different ways! Love the examples!!
ReplyDeleteGreat design! Love all of your variations!
ReplyDeleteThe first one I use a lot - due to Shimelle and 4 X 6 Photolove LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove your LOs
