Capturing the Magic: A Closer Look at Joanne Bartell’s February LE Creation
There is something truly magical about the way a few sheets of paper and a handful of embellishments can turn a single photograph into a family heirloom. This month, Design Team member Joanne Bartell has absolutely taken our breath away with a layout that defines "shabby chic elegance."
Using the February Limited Edition Kit, Joanne has created a masterpiece that feels both nostalgic and fresh. By framing a beautiful black-and-white portrait of a mother and child within a delicate, lace-like die-cut frame, she draws the eye straight to the heart of the story.
What makes this layout a standout are the intricate details that reveal themselves the longer you look:
Dimensional Florals: A lush garden of pastel roses and primroses that seem to grow right off the page.
Whimsical Touches: Delicate butterflies and shimmering iridescent gems that add a hint of sparkle to the soft color palette.
Storytelling Elements: The clever inclusion of vintage luggage fussy-cuts and "Love" ephemera, suggesting that the greatest journey we ever take is the one we share with family.
Whether you are a seasoned "pro" at layering or just starting your scrapbooking journey, Joanne’s work is a masterclass in using texture and tone to create an emotional connection. We are so excited to see how this kit inspires your own stories this month! You can follow along with the process here.
