Behind the Scenes: Adding Dynamics – The Angle
There are lots of ways how you can add dynamics to a page in order to make it visually interesting and captivating. One way of doing so is by placing things at an angle. Take a look at this page I created the other day with Libby’s new kit “We The People”: It would have just been another one of those circular layouts I’ve created lately, if it hadn’t been for the angle. The angle is what creates tension on an otherwise pretty simple page layout and composition, which makes it visually interesting. All of a sudden, the page stands out from the rest, and that is because of the angle I added. How to Add an Angle Usually, I begin by just scrapping my page, adding paper layers and clusters, my photo(s), the title, and the journaling. If you wait with rotating everything to the very end, you save yourself a lot of guessing work and having to rotate everything individually. After creating your page, simply select all the layers you want to …
Journaling Café: Be Brave
Today I’d like to talk about being brave. We all need to be brave at some point in our lives – some of use more, some of us less. Take a look at today’s journal prompts and think about what you have to say about the topic. Write it down. Or scrap it. Here’s a page I created with this prompt:

P2D: Field Trip
There is so much inspiration you can get from traditionally scrapped paper layouts. The possibilities are endless. Take this page for example from the Crate Paper Blog: I love the blocked design and all the bits of embellishing that make this page so much fun to look at because there is so much to discover. It totally inspired me to try my hand on a page based on this one, and here’s what I created: Like it? Then why don’t you use this as a jump start for one of your pages?

Freebie Friday: Summer Morning – Part 2
Yikes! I’m way behind with posting (as always this time of year when life gets crazy busy), but it doesn’t mean that I don’t have any freebie to share with you. Not at all! In fact, the next kit is done already, only waiting to get posted, so while you may have to wait for a bit to collect the pieces, I promise, they are there already, and you’ll have them together eventually (hopefully rather sooner than later, I’ll really try my best!). Anyways, here’s the second part of “Summer Morning,” which means today you get the first part of the papers. You already know the drill: These freebies are good for personal use only, and if you’d like to share them with others, send them to this website, k? Well then, I’m off to blog a bit more. Happy Friday, scrappers!
Hybrid Hub: Ice Cream with Class
I wanted to share with you the next double page spread I made with a digital kit by Jenn Barrette called “Love You More Than Ice Cream.” It was perfect to scrap all those photos I had from last year, going out to eat ice cream with my class. We definitely had a lot of fun back then, and creating this page was a lot of fun as well!
