Behind the Scenes: Scrap Magazine Style

Who says you can only scrap the traditional way (if there is such a thing as “traditional” in digital scrapbooking)? Or with the trend of art journaling lately, pages tend to get all artsy and messy. Today, however, I would like to talk to you about a very different style of scrapbooking: magazine style.   If you look at a magazine, you would probably notice certain key features that are typical for this kind of media: lots of text (comparatively, though you could argue that it depends on the magazine, I grant you that), little to no shadowing of pictures and elements, and title work that catches the eye.   If we transfer that onto a scrapbooking layout, there would be three things you would really have to focus on: the photos, the text, and your title work.

Journaling Café: Happiness is …

Too easily we get caught up with our daily routine, that we only take little time to think about the things in life that make us happy. Today, I’ve got a couple of journaling prompts focusing on those little pleasures in life without which life would be dull and meaningless. And, of course, as always, I worked on a page of my own:

P2D: Hopeful

It’s paper to digi hour again, and today I’d like to share with you this layout … … which I turned into this digital page … I really liked the bit of messiness, the painted splatters and scattered elements on the original layout, and thought to incorporate it on my own page, while still trying to keep in line with my own style.
