Just Desserts

I blogged the other day about 'white space' [here], a design concept in scrapbooking.  I featured an article (by Debbie Hodge) about white space which showcased three layouts (using the same images) to show off this concept on finished layouts.  I personally liked layout #2 and thought I'd give it ago...

 

Here is a picture of the original layout design...

 



 

 

 

 

And here is my take...

'Special For Today'... feature's my LIKE FOR EVER August kit (Oh So Lovely), which consists if the Crate Paper 'Wonder' collection.  This is my 8th layout with this kit, the photos tell the story of my daughter and I taking my niece out for her first 'grown-up' shopping trip... we had a ball!  Part of the experience was to be 'ladies what lunch', so here we are having lunch in Frankie and Benny's.  Of course lunch had to include dessert... and what fabulous desserts we had!  I'm so glad I managed to capture this moment.

 

 

My journaling

 

Love these sequins and enamel dots that came in the kit, they add just the right element

 

I used some of the die-cuts for my title and embellishments

 

 

I think this design may become one of my 'go-to' layouts when inspiration deserts me!

 

Have a great 'hump day' everyone x

 

 

 

Blah... blah... blah...

 



White Space...

Did you think it was... space that was white?

 

In scrapbooking (apparently) you'd be wrong!

 

I have said in previous posts ~ I just 'get on with it', that I try not to 'over-think' the process of scrapbooking, I just want to record the memory and use some pretty 'stuff' to do it, otherwise I get bogged down with the right/wrong ways of design and then just abandon it altogether... however...

 

I recently came across an article about 'white space' and found it, not only interesting, but informative as well... so I thought you all should know...

 

White Space can be any colour! Who knew? Right?

 

I have no idea how I actually came across this crazy way of thinking (probably trawling the internet!), but here it is [here], check it out... its good.

 

Simple 'space' can be predictably symmetrical or unpredictably asymmetrical! Uh? What? Over-thinking, much?  But it does make sense, even if it does go again my 'stick it and hope' philosophy!

 

I'm off to have a go at layout #2, if I can find three photos about the same thing...
