Do you ever have a time when you make a layout, card or other project and then you step back to look at it and think, "Ho-Hum." You stare at it trying to decide what it needs to make it really POP! Well, I have a super-simple suggestion for you that will POP your socks off! Grab your white pen and add some doodling. Doodling can range from very intricate swirls and patterns to simple dots and faux stitching.
On this layout I had FUN adding tons of white dots around the edges of the papers and when I stepped back again, it looked to me like it had a lot more dimension and FUN to my page!
And, here's another one where the white circle of dots really completed the page and the white dots also helped to pop the journaling strips and heart out from the patterned paper background.
So, grab your white pen and go to town on your pages! You'll be amazed at the difference a little white dot can make!
