How creative are you when you scrap? Do you stick with your paper and embellishments the way they come or do you look at things in a unique way? If you just use the basics as is, try to venture out and look at the big picture. Take a look at the packaging that the embellishments come in. Some of them have awesome designs on the backing or the label can be used on a page. Also, don't forget the the strips of paper that you cut off of the the bottom of the paper. Some of them have a thin strip of the pattern in a smaller print and of course they also always have the name of the line on them. They can be very creative with those names. Here is a page I created using Glitz Color Me Happy.
Here you can see where I cut the name off the bottom of one of the paper strips and used it as a subtitle. It looks like it was made to be an embellishment.
Love your layout, so colorful! I realized a few months ago that I could use those bottom strips for things like flags or small sentiments on cards, and LOVED being able to use even the tiniest piece! I even cut a title out with my Cuttlebug using nothing but the little strip! BUT, I have learned the downside to discovering this .... is I save SO MANY tiny scraps now!! It's almost embarrasing how many teensy tiny little bits I've started to hoard! I even bought a new organizer so I could see them better (and use more)! LOVE IT!!! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat page, Tammi!Love the bright colors!
