No matter the
occasion ,
flowers play a
huge role in our
photos and our
memories; happy
moments holding
wedding
bouquets, sad
moments filled
with sympathy
flowers or
simple moments
of a child’s
dandelion bouquet.
Each memory and
each flower
marks a
significant
moment in time that we
treasure and
want to last. Saving
a corsage from a
high school prom
or first gift of roses is
a perfect way
to preserve some
of those
memories. If you
choose to use
your dried florals in your
scrapping, be
sure to place
them in a
protective
sleeve before
placing them on
your pages. Scanning them is another manner to preserve their impression on us.
Embellishing your
pages with imitation blossoms to
relive those
lost moments and
revive the vibrant,
beautiful hues
is easy using most any of our digital page paks, as we love flowers!
You will find
daisies,
sunflowers,
poppies, tulips and many more pleasing flowers to build mountains of beautiful arrangements on your layouts and greeting cards. And as always, you can reuse your
digital stash,
duplicate them, alter their
size and opacity,
to create a
wonderful
assortment.
Whether you are
creating a
floral
arrangement or
using a single
stem, placement
on your page is
important.
Achieving the
optimum effect
from your
flowers, yet
keeping the
focus on your
photos is the
primary goal
when choosing
the placement.
It is usually
best to begin
designing your page with
photos and
papers arranged,
and then add the decorative elements. Use
your flowers as
simply an accent
or use them to
cover unwanted
portions of your
photos. In the
sample layout I
have created,
the darling
photo of grandma
and
granddaughter
was overpowered
by a large
floral
arrangement in
the center of a
table, so I
chose to add
additional florals around this to appear as if it was intentional.
Use your
imagination when
building your
arrangements and
remember there
are no rules!
Mix and match
realistic
blooms with the
more abstract to create interest and use some of the wonderful stems, leafs, etc. as additional accents.
