Goooo Hillary!!!
So, as many of you may know by now, this week is the SCRAPSIMPLE week. What can I say about this book? Well, what's NOT too say?!?! It's grrrreat (says my inner Tony the Tiger)! It's perfect for EVERY scrapper. Layouts sometimes can be overwhelming with color, texture, embellishments, etc...They just get too busy. Hillary demonstrates NUMEROUS ways of making the most of your layouts in a simplistic manner. Here's one of my FAVORITES from her book:



Why do I love this layout sooo much!?!? I love it because it's on WHITE paper...not many layouts are seen without a color background as it's foundation. The circles are sooo playful in their placement and form. It adds the PERFECT touch of color to spruce up this layout. And the focal point is still on the little ADORABLE boy. He clearly dominates the layout. It's clean, playful, simple, and GOSH DARN GRRREAT! (Yes, I know I'm silly.) It doesn't overwhelm the eye. I'm going to make a layout similar to this one with my little girl on it :) Thanks to Hillary and her contributers from Scrap Simple for the inspiration...

DON'T FORGET—we're giving away a copy of this FABULOUS book to one lucky winner. Leave a comment to Christine's thread (Book Giveaway--Scrap Simple) by noon eastern on Friday, December 21. We'll choose a winner at random to receive the book and will then mark the thread as closed.

All the best,
Kelly

Congrats on the new book - I love the idea of cutting down and getting back to basic good design.

"Why do I love this layout sooo much!?!? I love it because it's on WHITE paper..." Me too!!

That layout is adorable...I love it. I love using a plain white background...a fresh canvas every time. Sounds like this book would be perfect...I love simple and clean.

I never use white paper! I am a color fiend and I did not think that white would support my love of color but your lo proves me wrong on that. I think I might just try this. TFS

Love the page Severine - I spotted it was yours a mile away with your gorgeous son as the main feature. Congratulations Hillary , you must be so proud of this book. I wonder how long it will take to hit the stores here in Australia?
