Narrow Down a Festive Palette for More Impact with Hanna
During these very busy times with it being the holidays, you might not have a whole lot of time to scrap. I’m staying with my parents for a couple of days, and we’ve been going through some boxes with old photos. I came across this photo of me in a pink sweater, decorating the Christmas tree.
I love the vintage feel with the soft colors. So, for this layout, I want the focus to be on this single photo, and I love to match colors with it. I went through my stash and landed on the Festive collection:
And focused my layout on the colors pink, cream, red and a touch of gold to create a warm and festive feeling and these complement my photo. I select all the ellies in these colors and then start to build the layout.
I edited the photo to lighten it and make it feel even more vintage. I chose a cream background without patterns to have room for the photo to breathe. I then added a rubon stamp and scattered some other elements over it like stars and hearts. A curled ribbon really feels festive, and I added a blingy present too.
I made a small cluster with a clip to put on top of the photo, so I have some place to add a year or date and I put a ribbon on the title to give it extra dimension. I also love to place everything on one side of the page when I use white space, so it really draws the focus. I’m not a big fan of journaling and since this photo is pretty self-explanatory, I only put the year on it to finish the layout. There you go, a single photo that draws in the eye on a super quick layout with white space and some festive elements and colors to ring in the season!
