Mojo Monday - May 19th

[AmyPunky]

Hi there!

Emilie there for a brand new Mojo Monday Challenge to help you start the week with a positive attitude ;)
Are you looking for purity, clearness and clarity? Today's challenge will be perfect for you. The theme of this Mojo Monday is indeed All in White!

The rules are simple:
- use a white (or very soft and light) background
- make a white space layout!

A white space layout is all about the photo for me, I like to focus on the photo. But white space doesn't mean you can't use elements. A minimum of elements are necessary to showcase your photo. I like to make clusters of elements under my photo: I can have white space and embellies at the same time. On a white space layout, the elements are important but it's not the main subject of the layout. The elements are here to showcase the photo and not the contrary.

So, here are some tips to make a perfect white space layout:
- let your layout breathe
- don't use too much elements, limit yourself to 5 elements
- make a cluster of elements, so that your embellishments are not placed all over the page
- only use one photo but don't make it too big or too small, try to find the perfect balance
- don't make a big title, limit yourself to one word
- don't use too many different colors
- make a journaling but don't write a lot, 1 or 2 lines are enough
- last but not least, don't be afraid of negative space!

Here are some examples from our fabulous team!!!

[angels]

[AmyPunky]

je vais essayer, en espérant avoir tout bien compris lol

C'est tout simple, il faut faire une page avec un fond blanc et laisser beaucoup d'espace sur ta page (white space or negative space). ;)

[angels]

ok, c'est bien ce que j'avais compris et pour celui là il ne faut pas obligatoirement des produits SA ?

[AmyPunky]

Non, c'est vrai que je n'ai pas précisé donc c'est quartier libre ! ;)

[angels]

bon ben y a plus qu'a :clap:

[sascedar]

here's my attempt!
