My next quest into the realms of unknown scrapbooking was...white space. Something that I do not do. Any time I have tried it, i just did not like the emptiness around the photos...but then I started to experiment with inks and paints, and that ( I think) is the answer to how it works so well for some people.
Today I have been at Papermaze...sorting out the August kit. We had already put one together, but due to item dates for bits being in stock have been pushed back, we had to re do it all. So I can show you one of the pages that I made from the original kit.
I really tried on this page to add the splatters that are so 'in' right now and I tried for the white space...honestly...I need your opinion...
After playing around with both mists and paints, I am leaning towards using paints. The mists spread out a bit while they were drying which I did not like. But the paint was better...also then with a light touch i could add the splotches to a specific place that I wanted them to go......so much better for a control freak like me! lol...
I am totally loving that Picasca now has the capability to make the Polaroid shape for your photos...much better than me figuring it out on my own!!!
I now have a few days to work with the new August kit....see you later x

like this layout, the slats finish it off nicely.
i love it wendy!!
i find the oa sprinklers better than glimmermists for the splats... but paint is good too!
you want honesty? Well I honestly think it is gorgeous. I do like white space though. this has all your trademarks and is beautiful as always.
Love. Paint is a great option to mists and the finish is very different. Love the colours you used!!!!
Lovely colours, really pop on the white! I like it, but you know I am partial to mist!
Love it, Wendy! I just love your beautiful, fun style. Everything always looks so perfect :) ♥
You go girl. You rocked this style. Gorgeous page! I love everything about it! The photos, the pops of colour, the details, splatters and of course... the butterflies.
I really love it, it wonderfull! I love the splatters of paint, the foto's, the white on white, the SPACE! You asked an honest opinion, for me all the empty space is great, the only thing that seems a bit too empty to me is the space below the foto's. Hope you get what I mean. But, hey, that's me criticizing on a LO that's WAY more beautyfull then anything I ever did (and will?) create, lol!
LOVE! :)
Juisie....i agree...in hindsight i should have not hidden away my journaling and added it there. This is the first time i have done that, not sure if i will do it again.
Absolutely gorgeous! Love all the splatters!
I really love this...the color scheme - fabulous!!
i struggle with white space too...but after seeing your creation (and loving it and pinning it) I am encouraged to try and try...
I love your layout. I love the pop of color and I love that Picasa and PicMonkey make the polaroid picture easy to create. Great job!! - Shelly
So it totally rocks BIG TIME!
Honestly? I think you worry too much! As youve said pages are for you and no one else (must take my own advice here! lol)
I can hardly scrap anything else other than white space and clean lines...it kills me!! but Im learning to live with it lol
You are you and you scrap how you scrap...personally I love your pages :)
Great lo! You have an amazing style!!
