Reworking an old layout

[sarahbcmc]

I loved the photo in this layout here, but decided it would work well with some of the newer stuff in the store too:



So here is the updated version:


I was wondering if anyone has done anything similar recently and updated an old layout with some of the new DD goodies? Or if I've inspired anyone to give it a go. Either way I'd love to see the 'before' and 'after' versions!

If I love a photo enough, I sometimes scrap it twice. I have used a page design more the once.

I want to rework nearly all of my older layouts!

Your updated one is fantastic Sarah, I love it's fresh look

[mugsbigsis]

I LOVE your reworked page!!!!!! Beautiful!!!! You've inspired me for sure. ;O)

Thanks for sharing that Sarah! I want to rework many of Tanner's baby pages (my first layouts) If I ever get "caught up" I will go back and do some!!

I've remade a couple of pages lately too Sarah. One of them because of some glaring mistakes, and the other to switch from 8.5 x 11 to 12 x 12. I have lots more that I just plain don't like and want to redo them too.

I love the way that you have updated this precious baby photo. (I like the old version too!) The photograph is adorable!!!!!

Funny you should mention this Sarah. I just reworked a layout I did years ago. I found this inspirational paper layout by Maureen "Mozer". I did my own version but was never really happy with it. Last night I did a new version because of a special occasion for my niece. Optimism

great re-works!

Sarah, that photo is fabulous and the new page design is AMAZING! The old one is quite nice, but the new one is really eyecatching & well-balanced. Love it!

I DO feel inspired to rework a few old ones...I'll see if I can make it happen!

Funny you should bring this subject up. I've been doing that with a lot of my 1st pages. Most of them, I just redo, but I haven't been uploading them. The last one, however, I did decide to upload just a few days ago.

Here's the before: (it blows my mind that I thought this was good! )



And here's the after:

Sarah, what a good idea to start a thread like this!!

I have used a favorite photo over again and I have lots of my earliest layouts I'd love to rework. You're giving me ideas and when I get a chance I'll show you what I do!

[Starlite9711]

Katina, I am the same way when I look back at some layouts, I laugh to myself that I thought they were good...lol

[nativescrapper]

Love what you did, and a great thread topic also.

[Scrapbird]

Wow! Your remake really makes the photo the focus of the page!! I like that.

[BrittanyLane]

I'm always tempted to do that so you've pushed me into that direction! Love your page!

[hguenthe]

Fantastic reworks!! Definitely encourages me to revisit old layouts and photos I love again.

[Chris]

I love looking at all your re-do's, but don't think the originals are that bad!
Sometimes our tastes change - mine does daily! I think it's a good to redo favorites.

[justmp]

I never do go back and redo layouts because I have sooo many photos that haven't been scrapped at all. That being said, I LOVE what you did here!! Your first layout was wonderful, but the reworked on is AMAZING!! Love it!

[dugarner]

All these re-works are amazing! I love them all. When I was a paper scrapper, I used to re-do LOs all the time. It drove DH crazy. I had to rebuild my EHD last month, and I thought I backed up all my current scrapbook pages, but the backup recovery failed, so I lost everything from 2008. So I get a chance to re-do all my pages from last year! It's been fun finding excuses to buy new DD product.

Thanks for sharing, girls.
Chris - I love the mask and colour on the new version and Katina, the kraft background works so well.

Gorgeous photos too - I can see why you wanted to re-work them. My earliest earliest pages are not in the DD gallery (way too ugly), so I am looking forward to revisiting some of those too. Not that I'm caught up with recent photos though!!!!

[Julie DeGuia]

I just reworked this layout so that I was using all DD products in order to upload for a contest. So it isn't an old layout.... well, actually all my layouts are new b/c I just recently started scrapbooking digitally!

Here is the first one:
