That's what she read

I was listening to Debbie Hodge interview Celeste Smith on Get it Scrapped - the product play interview and was struck by how Celeste loves using a stripe pattern that includes all the colours within the kit or layout that she is using. I love creating using one kit and a great floral miniprint like this one. I like creating a visual triangle of clusters with a foundation of brushwork and embellies.
~My son hates posing for photos and I end up with less than stellar pics like this one, changing it to black and white helps slightly.

Double page, layout strategy with grid

Seen on the Get it Scrapped blog:

“This layout celebrates my recent 48th birthday party. I chose my favourite candid photo of us laughing as the focal photo, with supporting photos of the venue details on the left, while the right page features some of my gifts.”

“I used color to unite the two sides of my layout. Instead of my default of using the same background paper for both, I chose a brighter floral on a grey back ground for the left, picking the pink as a back ground paper for the right. While both sides use stitching, the green stitching on the right picks up the green paper on the left. The grey bow from the right draws the eye back to the grey background paper on the left.”
