Floral Scrapbook Layout Idea

Scrapbook Layout – One small photo – One Big Focal Point

This has to be one of my all time favorite scrapbook pages.  Everything on it was designed from scratch by me (cijaye) during the early days of digital scrapbooking.  I started out with a drawing I made of the flower.  I created the background layer, then I decided to play with the flower as a primary focal point on the page.  At that time I didn’t really expect to be able to get a photo onto the page.  Though it was important.

I played with the idea of placing tiny photo’s into all of the petals and then I got very overwhelmed by how busy that would look.

So, I elected to cutout the center of the flower and using the “paste into” feature in photoshop 7.0 I resized the photo of choice to just the right size.

I still adore this one.  Even to this day!
