In Balance

When Cowgirl came over a week ago, one of our agenda items for the week was some crafting. I scrapbooked and she made these darling Halloween cards. It was fun to see how fabulously talented she is, and to be able to talk with someone about what makes for a good design. For instance, noticing how your eye reads things visually is important. Color, contrast, placement, proportion, all these things must be balanced for a design to work. One of these cards she was bothered by. That's what led to our discussion. It wasn't working for her, and she didn't know why. By the end of our crafting time she knew what she'd do differently next time to make it work. She is a quick study, for sure, and a delightful crafting buddy as well. She's also speedy. She made all of these in half the time I finished my page. She used the K & Co. line with a little help from my stash and stamps.
