What, No Title?
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t always need to put a title on your scrapbook page. {I know…SHOCK!} I too am guilty of using titles probably more than I should, but sometimes it’s good to let the pictures speak for themselves. On my page below, I wanted the pictures to be the focus of the page….a title would have been too distracting. And the journaling and embellishments simply help to solidify the theme of the page (in this case….LOVE). The result is often stunning simplicity. Try it on your next page and put the focus where it should be….on your pictures!
Use Your Photos to Guide Your Colors
Besides illustrating the beauty of omitting a title when appropriate, this page is the perfect example of using your photos to guide the colors on your page. Never in a million years would I have paired these 3 colors together: taken with teal, barely banana, and real red. But this unusual color combo works because the pictures help bring them together. Add in a small amount of a neutral color like whisper white or very vanilla and you will often, but not always, end up with a winning combination.
Stamp set: the more the merrier; Inks: taken with teal, real red, barely banana; Cardstock: taken with teal, real red, barely banana, whisper white; Embellishments: whisper white organza ribbon; Tools: paper piercer, mat pack, heart to heart punch
