We always take nice proper photos with a nice background or a captivating close up. We make sure they are interesting, beautiful and of course scrapbooking suitable! How about taking some funny photos? I have to say it was not my idea, it was my kids’. They took the camera and started having fun by putting a plastic bag over my head and taking pictures. It was really funny and I played along! I also created a whimsical, fun and colorful layout If scrapbooking is all about telling stories about our daily lives what better way to capture all those family precious moments with funny, goofy and silly photos. They can show that hidden wild side in dad, all the funny things your son likes to do or even or even bring out the inner child in grandma. So try to have fun with your photos and get silly with it!

Another one of my layouts is spotlighted in the Prima blog. This is one of my favorite photos of my son and it really came out beautifully in the layout. I used a small version of the photo on purpose so I can create a large white space on the layout. That white space gives the feeling of a small boy with big dreams. It’s almost as if the dreams are actually floating around him. I also used masking, inking Glimmer mist and Glimmer glam to create a more rich background for the layout. Have fun creating!Einat

Some people get really uncomfortable when they hear the term white space.Well, there’s nothing to it! White space is just another name for empty or almost empty space on you layout. In order to create a balanced layout some of the page must be empty or almost empty or else we’ll get really dizzy with all the details. This is a layout I created to show that white space is not that scary! As you can see on the layout most of the center is empty, there is nothing on the paper. Some parts of the paper only have interesting background that I made with masks but not a lot more. Even the photos are extremely small and don’t take a lot of space. Here are some tips to create white space: 1. Don’t be afraid to leave parts of your layout with no photos or embellishments.2. Make sure to create a balance between the full parts and the empty …

When I want to create a layout that is both cost effective and beautiful I always use masks. Masks can be used to create a richer background, add layers for more interest and even replace embellishments. In this layout I did all that! I used two of my favorite Crafter’s Workshop masks and added interest to my background as well as a branch embellishment that really pops. When you use masks you can choose the color, you can choose where you want it on your layout and that gives you designing freedom. You can use the mask as many times as you want so it’s cost effective and versatile at the same time! Have fun creating!Einat
