I like big titles and I cannot lie! Hey everyone, Heather Leopard here with a large title scrapbooking layout. There's something about large titles that I just love. I guess they just grab your attention and are a really fun design element.
I searched through my photos for something wintery. I knew I wanted to scrap about winter because I was being drawn to snowflakes, specifically the snowflakes paper in the Santa Squad collection. I also discovered that Bella Blvd has some fun snowflake cut files so my mind was made up.
To get started on this layout, I mocked up the layout in my Silhouette software. I knew I was going to be using a supersized title - a simple "SNOW" would do but I wanted to make sure I didn't make it too big or too little. Mocking it up first didn't take much time at all and I got the perfect fir. It also allowed me to right size the snowflakes. As I was adding them to the page I was designing in the software, I kept making them bigger and bigger. I decided they should help frame the title so I super sized them as well. FYI, my designed changed once I got everything cut out but the size of the elements remained the same.
While the title and snowflakes were cutting, I added a subtle patterned paper to the top 1/3 of the page as well as a border at the top, middle and bottom. I then added some mist / color including some white shimmer mist that you may not be able to see well but looks gorgeous in person, and some pops of pink and teal using the Illustrated Faith paints.
Once everything was cut and the background was dry, I added the snowflakes (also with white shimmer mist) and the large title.
Once I had the border that consisted of snowflake patterned paper and the white misted snowflakes, I added the word "SNOW" on top.
Lastly, I added some patterned paper and embellishments around the photo and around the page as well as journaling strips to tell the story of the day.
So tell me, do you ever use such a prominent feature, such as a supersized title? I LOVE using this design element on my pages!
