White Cardstock + Pops of Color

Hi there!  Stephanie here with you today to share layout using the new Now and Then Izzy collection.

I'm a big fan of a white background.  It's like a blank, empty canvas just waiting to be filled with color.  Sometimes my mood calls for soft and calming colors, and other times, I want bold pops on my page.  When I started planning this page, the colors from the Now and Then Izzy collection really drew in my attention.  The patterned papers are a little more subtle and the embellishments have that pop of color!  It's was perfect combination.

Supplies: Now and Then- Izzy: "Good Times" Range, "Boys" Dapper, "Happenings" Enamel Dots, "Good Time" 3x4 Journal Cards, "Dream Big" Chipboard and Buttons.

I started with my white background and layered a few of the softer patterned papers on my page.  I chose lighter colors and a few neutrals because I really wanted my embellishments to stand out on my page.  


After my papers and photos were layered, I grab a few of the journaling cards that coordinated with this collection and added them to my page.  The "today" card on the right hand side of my paper layers continued with the red-orange color on my page.


The navy block on the "remember this" journaling card gave the left side of my page a little more balance and color.  I added my journaling onto this card and created a hide-away pocket for the card.  I love adding interactive elements to my page.  It's like a little secret waiting to be discovered.  


I finished my page with a few embellishment clusters in the top right and bottom left of my page.  Including clusters on a diagonal continued with the overall balance of my layout.
