mbc72 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Come join Shannon and I in the chat room at 6pm (ET) as we discuss three popular scrapping styles: Pocket Scrapping, White Space and Clusters. Can't wait to see you there! Some tips and links from the chat: Pocket Style Scrapping Blog Help: Creating Custom Journaling Cards Pocket Style scrapping works because it is laid out on a grid Easy, organized, can accommodate lots of photos without clutter Symmetry and balance are natural to this foundation Can be any size or shape, squares, circles, rectangles; can be full page or resized smaller Acts as a good foundation, but can be easily customized to different looks “Pockets” can hold photos, journaling or embellishments INSD JIF Plus Challenge Kiki Just the Beginning Stitched Frame White Space Blog Help: Rule of Thirds “Active white space is carefully considered emptiness” Alex White Doesn’t have to be white, just refers to empty space on a layout Gives the eye a chance to rest Keep in mind the Rule of Thirds when deciding on placement Don’t trap white space between photos or embellishments Natural Beauty Bright Christmas Memory Collector A Simple Hello Clusters Variety is key when building clusters Variety in size, shape and textures Using a strong horizontal element as well a vertical one adds flow and movement from one end of your cluster to the other Ribbons, string and scatters can add fun swirl and movement Think in groups of 3 or 5 when building clusters- color and shape Photos, letters, paper strips can all be part of your cluster. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box for things to add. Pay attention to shadowing details when building clusters Loom Love Holiday Cookies Lily Adelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
