December is a wonderful time of year with holiday celebrations and quiet evenings by the fire and a good book. I am pleased to be able to share a special goodie with you today and I hope your holidays are blessed with the love of family and friends.
I want to share with you how to use papers to create stunning layouts. With holiday photos to scrap and beautiful kits to choose from, this is a wonderful time to scrap. Papers are often overlooked as a design element and relegated to simply a background. When you cut up your background papers and use them like elements they can make a nice layout standout as amazing!
Here are some examples with the kit preview they came from.
#1 One World from CT Poki - she used squares and rectangles of different papers behind her cluster, which provides more emphasis.
#2 Scarborough Fair from CT Denise - the use of her paper rectangles helps to anchor the photo and cluster and draw the viewer's eye to the image.
#3 Surviving School (a collab I did with Karen Shultz Designs) by CT Deanna - lots of thin strips of papers were used to provide emphasis and color and a sense of fun to her layout.
