Today's Tip! - Filmstrip

Save time by matting a few photos on the same piece of cardstock to create a "filmstrip" effect. Just place and space the photos evenly and cut. A time-saving technique I enjoy using.

Dry brushing is a technique used to highlight or shade objects or areas of a scrapbook page. Dry brushing gives the appearance of weathered wood.

Today's Tip! - Crumpled Cardstock

Add more texture to your cardstock by crumpling it. Cardstock can be quite stiff, so spray or spritz it with water to soften it. Then start crumpling.

To dry it, flatten it out and use a towel to absorb the moisture. Let it dry completely before using.

Today's Tip! - Using Fabric

Use fabric as your background design or cut it up in strips and use them as ribbons for your layouts.

What to do with 8"x8" Canvases.......

I have a few ideas, but do you have any suggestions?

Today's Tip! - Soda Tabs

Don't throw away your soda tabs! Save them and use them as "buckle" on your ribbons. If you want, you can sand the rough edge down a bit and even paint on them to match the color of your ribbon. I've used this tip several times and I really like the look. It works with paper strips too.

Happy Easter!!!!

Enjoy friends, family, chocolate,

and Easter Bunnies.
