Let’s Get Small

One of the great things about digital scrapping is the ability to resize your elements to suit your design needs on digital scrapbook pages and projects. I almost always resize my elements down to make cards (papers too). Today I want to show you a great example of less is more when it comes to resizing. Or as I saw someone post in the forums, when in doubt, make it smaller.

Here is a fabulous digital scrapbook layout by new CT member Kimberly Wynn aka bansgran using my Cotton Candy Machine kit.  Aside from the fact that this page has GREAT use of negative space, let’s look at how she used some of the elements on her page.

Look at that cute little cluster of flower, badge and butterfly on the lower right frame.  Isn’t that delicate?  But look how much larger these items were in my kit (shown on a 12x12 background)

At regular size, they may have overpowered the photos but when they are reduced and clustered, they make add a fabulous little punch to the page.

Some pages “want” a bunch of layers and clusters but sometimes just a little bit of embellishing goes a long way. I hope you like this idea and get a chance to try it soon!
