Documenting Adventures with Reverse Confetti
Hello, Simon friends! I’m so excited to be here today to share a fun Project Life layout I created using a variety of stamps and dies available from Reverse Confetti.
More often than not, the majority of my layouts are created around a picture or set of pictures, and from there I determine my color palette and overall theme of the page. For today’s layout, I wanted to use some of my favorite photos of my daughter playing in the snow. :)
I love how the bold color of her coat and gloves really popped against the wintry background, and wanted to similarly incorporate bold pops of color throughout my page. I kept the backgrounds of each of the cards fairly simple, which helped to make the elements added to each card stand out, while also reducing the overall busyness of the page.
