You're So Negative: Heather

I like to fill the page when I scrap!!  Lots of papers, lots of layering, and, of course, lots of distressing!!  So to do a challenge that calls for negative space is a little outside my comfort zone!  But I think I was able to accomplish . . . even to my liking!  lol
I sprayed glimmer mist on the background from one corner to another diagonally.  I then added added the strip of paper with the hot air balloon and words on it.  I put a transparency over the pic so the focus would be on my new (and first) great-nephew!  I then added some little stickers, a couple prima flowers and a button.  The stickers, papers and even punched border are all from Simple Stories Baby Steps Collection.  It is so pretty and can be used for boys and girls! Lots of birds and owls in the collection also! I like it so much that I might be willing to leave some negative space more often!! Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking!

Negative Space/White Space worked great for a opening page for a trip to Garvan Woodlands Gardens. We visited the gardens during our trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas. I haven't used my Creative Memories Custom Cutting Tools in a long time. So, out they came I used one of the Oval and one of the Circle Tools to make my openings in my cardstock.

I love layouts with white(or negative) space. When I first learned about “white space”, I took it literally to mean blank, white space on my page, that didn‘t appeal to me. I was glad to learn that white space didn’t have to be white at all and now I love making layouts with white space. This layout was easy to put together once I chose my gold, background paper, I pulled several scraps of blues/grays that I thought would go with the picture. I cut them in blocks and arranged them until I was happy with the design. I finished up by adding my title and date. I love that this layout showcases one of my favorite pictures of my kids.

Negativity is just not a very healthy thing to have in our lives, but on a scrapbook page it can bring a whole new look to our books. I like making these type of layouts now and then since usually my pages have lots of "stuff" :) This lo is of our boy kitty Zorro. He thought he was clever climbing up into the tree looking to get closer to the birds. Look close and you will see a sticker right above his picture. He is quite the hunter let me tell ya! This time the only birds he got to get to close to though are the ones I added to the top of the page!!! Thanks as always for looking and I hope you join in!
