LOTW | Leontien

Our Layout of the Week, Week 8 | Left, comes from our member Leontien (username Jippo). We love Leontien's light and airy design and use of simple embellishments. To keep up with Leontien and see more of her work, be sure to follow her here at SC.

Here's what Leontien has to say about her project:

A few weeks ago, I decided to switch from 9" x 12" to 6" x 8" for my weekly Project Life® spreads and I’m so happy with my decision! I don’t constantly feel like I don’t have enough photos and, as an at-home printing scrapper, it’s easier to print and use larger photos like I did here.

This is a pretty simple spread; my main focus was to tell the stories through the pictures this week. I like to use different angles in my photos—at the bowling alley fairly low from the ground—and also a good amount of empty space so I can use this space for some text or embellishments. I made sure to not fill the entire space when taking the picture where my son is holding his whiteboard so I could use the empty space for some journaling.

I like the link between the picture with the drawings of all the emotion faces and the smiley pen holder on the right photo; sometimes all you need is a bit of serendipity. :-)
