Circles

 

Circles are less common elements than rectangles, which makes them good for grabbing attention, providing emphasis to something in your layout and breaking up rectangular designs. Circles suggest infinity, protectiveness (like encircling arms) and security, and sometimes movement (like a rolling ball). Circles could also suggest something well rounded or complete. Julie used a freeform circle around her “Wedding Day” layout to emphasize her wish for her brother to have everlasting love and happiness.

 

 

Design note: When creating this layout I chose to focus my design around a "circle". A never-ending circle, to me... representing forever and ever. Which is the emotion I wanted to convey here. Happiness and Love Forever and ever. Circle Brads, White Circle Dots on the Word "Wedding", and Circles swirled around letter stickers add support to the large circle surrounding the main page.

Wedding Day by Julie Geiger. Supplies: Creative Imaginations BE kit, Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, Stickers: Creative Imaginations, American Crafts, Pens: Sharpie, Other: Brads. 

 

Journaling: The day. The one day, you married your TRUE LOVE Angelika. I remember when we were younger and we would watch TV at night and have sleepovers. We were so very close growing up. I could never ask for more. Now years later, I still know we are the Best Friends we can be. You have married a wonderful soul. I truly wish you both a looong life together. I "heart" U Joshua! 6.23.2007

 

 

There are many different ways you can use circles on your scrapbook pages. Just like squares, you can use circles to highlight, organize or set apart your photos, titles and journaling by using solid or outlined circles. You can use circles to emphasize a focal point or important text. You can replace the letter O or other “round” letters in a title with a circular shape like a flower or a button. You can create circle outlines with brads, bling or other small circular shapes. Denean used a chipboard circle shape on her “8-18-2004” layout to highlight her daughter’s beautiful face.

 


 

 

Design note: I painted the chipboard numbers and hearts to match.

 

Journaling: I love you.

8-18-2004 by Denean Melcher.  Supplies: Paper: Fancy Pants, Chipboard: Fancy Pants, Heidi Swapp, Flowers: Prima, Brad: Making Memories, Other: Acrylic paint.
