I love to paint on my
pages! Acrylic paints, water paints--whatever I can find that will work with
scrapbooking. One of my favorite techniques is masking. 3M, the company that makes
Post It Notes, also makes Post It Tape in different widths. I like to mask off my paper using
these tapes--the wider ones can be cut with decorative edged scissors. These
tapes are removable, so once you lay them down to create your pattern--all you
have to do is paint, let it dry and remove the tape. Try this same technique
with removable reinforcers and stickers too! Try it on mats, tags and other
embellishments made from paper. It's fun to let the painter within evolve.
Happy Scrapping!

Lost without your Sidekick?
When you're away from civilization, it's the little things you miss big.
Like the Sizzix® Sidekick™. It's portable, affordable and adorable. And it
makes die-cutting and embossing a virtual paradise. Turns out being stranded
isn't so bad after all. As long as you have a Sidekick and you're surfing
Sizzix.com. |

Just like the Mad Hatter, some
scrappers are just mad about matting! It is truly the perfect way to bring
attention to our photos and get awesomely creative at the same time! But just
like Alice in Wonderland at the tea party, we can get frazzled about how to
approach creative matting. Let’s take a trip through the Looking Glass and see
that we can make sense of a great technique that will forever remain a classic
in scrapbooking.

To make your own monograms, find a font on your computer that you like and print
it backwards on the wrong side of your paper. Then, take your craft knife and a
glass mat, and cut out the letter. Lightly sand any rough edges with an emery
board or a buffing block.

One of the easiest ways to get a lot
of photos on a page is by adding the pictures to a flip flop photo holder. These
come ready to go and are even self-adhesive – you just slide your photos into
the sleeves and attach it to your page. The holder then folds out
accordion-style to show all the pictures.
