Does white space ever make you nervous?

One of the things I hear most often is, "I don't know what to do with all that white space!" But here's the secret... white space doesn't have to be empty.

Instead of filling every inch with patterned paper or embellishments, try adding subtle texture. On this layout, I used soft blue stenciling to gently fill the background. It adds interest and depth without competing with the photos, allowing these sweet everyday moments to remain the true focal point.

Sometimes the smallest design choices make the biggest impact.

In this week's Craft Notes, I'm sharing all the details behind this page, including the design decisions, layering techniques, journaling, and how subtle stenciling can transform a simple white background into something beautiful while still letting your photos shine.

I'd love for you to take a look!

I'd love to know—are you comfortable using white space on your scrapbook pages, or is it something you're still learning to embrace? Let me know in the comments! 😊
