It’s great that you have worked out a style that you are happy with Laura. many of us spend ages trying to settle into our style.

The white space thing does take some practice. But once you get the hang of it it will just come naturally. I kind of lean towards a ‘minimalist’ sort of style myself now. i like a bit of white space and only a few embellishments.

Thankfully I seem to have an eye for it. I used to do a lot of decorative pinting and sometimes I used patterns that I bought. I tought me how to add painted embellishments to enhance not “clutter”. I also “scraplift” designs and follow the basic placement. My girls really like my style and have “Hooked” by brag books to show others. I seemec to have found the happy medium. I’ve registere at many forums just so I can look through all the layouts. It’s a great place for ideas and then I change them enough to make them really mine. It’s harder for me to do the “white space” type layout. I’m going to be working on some of those coming up. Wish me luck!!

It’s a lot of fun Gisele. I’m glad that the ideas have inspired you to try something with your own photos.

I think you’ve nailed it in one Remlane. It’s amazing the difference a simple accent on a photo can make.

Even though I’m sort of a minimalist, too, I’m always amazed at how a snapshot of a memory can be enhanced and made extra special by scrapbooking techniques.

Like some artwork that you see in which the artist’s work continues onto the mat, it includes the display medium as part of the art. It gives a multi-dimensional depth beyond PhotoShop.

I don’t tend to use a lot of embellishments on my layouts Antoinette, but I do like to use a couple for accent. I’m a big fan of the understated brad and, of course, flowers.

It doesn’t take much to give your photos a lift John. Even a word printed in the corner can do it.

I like to see ‘more is better’ layouts Laura. But I have difficulty with them myself. I think maybe it’s because I just don’t know when to stop once I get started.
