Give me space!

September 22, 2011

Haha, thought that might get your attention  :mrgreen:    And, that is the name of the challenge I am going to share with you today!

 

 

Give Me Space is a white space challenge, hosted by Linda (Lexy/Alexis-Designs). This is what Linda said about this fun and inspiring challenge this month:

 

 

“Hello Everyone,

Welcome to September’s Give Me Space Challenge!

I am SUPER excited about the path this new challenge is taking and I hope you are as well! So many have asked how I do it… it’s really simple and something you can absolutely do. It’s a matter of getting comfortable with less and really making your photos *pop!*

I was your typical clusterer. Yup, that’s a word in the scrap world LOL and when I began to work with a minimalistic designer, that’s when I learned how it’s done… really by accident and just playing with a LOT less!

There are a few examples in my own White Space gallery to perhaps give you some ideas as to how it’s done:

This month’s challenge:

Requirements:

1 background paper or blank (white)
1 photo
Use a LOT of delicate elements of choice but leave plenty of “white space.”

 

 

Here are two good examples using the elements listed above for this month’s challenge:

 

Sweetness

My Baby Love

This month prize will be a surprise! Woohoo! So lets see what you’ve got!
Have fun and simply make it yours!”
