I made this page when I was too frugal to pay for decorative scrapbooking paper. I got a book of plain colors, which is where I got the grey.
The black and white print is actually printed from my computer. I just googled demask pattern. I was so proud of myself. I also used real newspaper but I would advise against this for those of you also using it. Here is why; My mother-in-law, the Queen of scrapbooking, informed me that the acids in the newspaper will most likely damage photos over time. Also, be aware of the type of adhesives you are using. Same deal, acids will damage your pics! The white paper for picture boarder is printer paper and the white stripes were scraps. I did fork out the "big bucks" for the flowers, sparkly letters and white/black rub on letters. I love rub ons! Anyway, happy scrapin'!  You know those cute stickers you can buy at Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Michael's etc.? Why not save the $3-$6 bucks and make your own? I took my inspiration for my large bird from my bird paper (right side of my page). I chose similar colors, the blues, in my scrap paper pile and made the bird. If your not much of an artist use a pencil and lightly sketch your desired cut out before hand. I glued my "beak" down first and then my "feet" and last my bird "body" and "wing." I drew the eye lashes with a skinny black Sharpie. It turned out great! Plus I got to use scrap paper. Waste not, want not, right?
 I love this page! The color combination; grey & and lime green turned out to be quite the cute pair. The page set up is simple yet pleasing to the eye. Framing your pictures with a contrasting color usually isn't a bad idea. | ScrapSome scrapbook page, card and gift inspiration. ArchivesCategoriesAll |
