My Canada/USA album is getting quite big already, filled with photos and stories and papers and embellishment. So i try here and there to add some simpler layouts, with lots of breathing space for the eyes to rest. This is one of them. 
I really really wanted to scrap this photo of Union Station becausea. i love it and b. this place is where my trip to DC started, and ended so it means quite a lot to me. But the original 4x6 i had printed did not work for me. I think it was because this place was huge, with crazy high ceilings and beautiful high archways. So i went big, and i reprinted it. The rest of the layout came together super quickly. A cute background with a little repetitive pattern, easy on the eyes, yet not boring. And because the photo is pretty dark i added splashes of colors: pink, blue and yellow. Almost no embellishment, just a few words here and there. Perfect for a pretty break while going through the album.
This layout is genius (just like the photo)!! I lovelovelove it when people dare to use huge photos...brilliant!!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty page.I love the large picture.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, ITA Union Station in DC is nothing less than impressive. Love your shot of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to enlarge the photo to better represent the subject. I like using the occasional enlargement, too - there are just some layouts that scream for them.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome photo! And love the layout design too
ReplyDeleteLove the bigger photo and simple layout, beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI too love the larger photo - it is stunning and totally catches the viewers attention. The embellies and snips of color are an accent and work beautifully.
