Love The White Space

What's your style of scrapbooking? Are you a clean and simple, mixed media or shabby chic crafter? Do you like to throw everything you have onto your layout, or are you a minimalist? I know I'm the former. I love embellishments and try to get as many as I can on a page and to fill that page from edge to edge.

Once in a while, I try to challenge myself to downsize my layout and not be afraid of having all that extra "white" space. It is possible to just use a corner or edge of your layout and leave the rest of the page empty. Here's a layout I did a while ago that shows how you can leave most of your page untouched and still make an impact.

These are the cutest photos of Miss C with her grandmother (my mum), having an ice cream at Maccies. When doing a white space layout, you don't need a busy pattern to keep it interesting. A simple chevron paper here speaks volumes.

Sometimes, just a few embellishments are all you need.

I added a smattering of stenciled gesso to "join" the photos to the accents.
