Finally I scrapped a picture. I've been so immersed in mixed media that I've set aside pictures, (I could add an extra measure of art to my mixed media and get scrappy with some photos - hum - something to seriously consider).
Last weekend while at the Celebration Crop at my favorite LSS, I pulled out a piece of sassafras that's been hanging around for months in one of my page kit bags.
I love the layered look of the paper but it's just that, "a look". I wanted some real 3D layers. I decided to dissect the page a bit with my nifty little craft knife. Then I roughed the cut edges with something, (can't remember what it was - I forgot my distress tools), from Cheryl's bag. (got to love friends - especially those who are always there to bail you out, even if it is with just a piece of sandpaper).
After attaching a piece of cardstock to the back of the patterned paper I put down the picture, added a little trim to the pocket I created, put on some flower brads and a chipboard title and called it a day. It felt good to scrap that picture of Jackie, Cheryl, and me. It was taken over a year ago at a weekend scrap retreat.
The project really was a lot of fun. I'm finding that I like to switch up my layouts with new techniques, (maybe not new to others but new and untried by me).
Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Creating.
