Help! I have a fear of 'white space'!

What can I do?!!! I felt REALLY uncomfortable about leaving the top part of this LO plain and had to resist the urge to add another little element.

I wish I could do more simple LOs (it wouldn't take me so darn long either!).

Any ideas????

LOL, I totally get it, because I'm just like you LOL
I love the plain top!!! Leave it that way

. Your boy is cute

Seriously, I love your layouts so much that I'd never change anything. This one is another stunning page, which I'll scraplift one day beacuse I have so many beach photos and this is such an inspiration!!!

another wonderful layout!! But I share your FEAR of white space...seriously, I've been playing along with the challenges here and I have to say that I love the results. I usually add a LOT of stuff to my layouts (look at my earlier layouts in my gallery), but my recent ones are rather simple! Try out this week's recipe challenge and stick with it - one photo and just a HANDFUL of elements, LOL! It's really nice to be able to crank out a layout in an hour ;o)

But seriously - your layouts are all gorgeous, so if its workin' for you - GO WITH IT! ;o)

anything extra at the top would take away from the beauty of this layout. You're instincts were right to leave the white space. Perfect balance!

Never doubt yourself - your layouts are always brilliant!!! I received some wonderful advice a couple of months back and that was to scrap with your heart and the rest will follow! Again, this is another lovely LO - I love that journaling - too cute! And the little fishies and the ric rac/string combo is too cute too!!! Keep doing what you're doing - it works!!
