Hi there! Michelle, here, with a little Monday inspiration. And right off the bat, after making the page I made for this blog post, I have to admit – I can’t help but go a little embellishment crazy when I scrap! I have lots of fun adding and piling and making clusters of embellishments that I sometimes have to step back and remind myself that I need to leave room for a title and some journalling – (that’s where hidden journalling comes in handy, at times like it did on this layout!) he he! But really, its just so fun to pull out my Paislee goodies and use everything: stamps, rub-ons, transparencies, letter stickers, chipboard Topsiders, lovely patterned papers…they all coordinate so well together and its fun to mix and match!
A little of This n’ That is a fun way to scrap, take it from me! If its not your usual style to mix more than 5 different materials/techniques,/embellishments, why not try it out and test your creativity? Try layering the new Pink Paislee rub-ons underneath stamps or letter stickers to bring visual interest and draw the eye to those elements on your page. They’re an super-easy way to tie the design together and ‘distress’ the page a little. Mix-up your letter stickers throughout different words in your title – they come in so many great colors its hard not to want to try them all! Try stamping directly onto the chipboard Topsiders’ sticker surface with Stazon ink, or cover chipboard shapes with coordinating patterned paper. Paint on the back of one of the new transparencies as the base of your page and leave the lovely iridescent pattern peeking out!
Or do every one of those things on one page, like I did! I truly think I used almost one of every product Pink Paislee has to offer on this page! lol! And I encourage you to try as many products and techniques you can – just play! Have fun! The wealth of textures, patterns, and colors you’ll find from combining elements is just so lovely and maybe you’ll be addicted to it like me in no time! Here’s what I had so much fun making:
