This is my second scrapbooking project. I'm trying to be freely creative , but part of me wants steps to follow or a process. This is part of my process - it helps me get started and then I feel my way through the rest. Maybe it will help you too!
Disclaimer: I love the shabby chic, imperfect look. I'm not that into the picture perfect layout and I love to embellish!

| INTERESTING PHOTO |
- Pick an interesting or sentimental picture. It's true a picture says a thousand words. The subject matter gives you a lot of direction on how to proceed, when it comes to what type of embellishments to use, and how to title your layout.
- Choose the layout papers. Use the colors in the picture to help you decide if you want to go monochromatic or complementary with the embellishments.
- Mat your photograph - it helps it to stand out as the focal point and it gives the eye a place to rest when you use a lot of embellishments.
- Of course you need to consider the elements and principles of design. I'm working on this right now I just rely on my eye and what I think looks good to me. I do know colors are important because they add to the story you are trying to tell. Color evokes emotions and feelings. Contrast helps give your layout interest, and Texture is just amazing - I love texture because it brings life to the layout. More later, most importantly have fun showcasing your memories.
