The picture of my son breaking through the pack was printed on white Bazzill cardstock… yes, cardstock. We all have it in our stash of supplies and the texture and depth that the cardstock gives my pictures is fantastic! I also sanded the edges of the picture so the texture really comes through.
I did this by cutting a piece of cardstock about an inch larger than I needed. Next I taped it to a blank sheet of copy paper. All I did next was run the paper through the printer and there you go… Bazzill pictures!
I glued patterned paper to the swirl chipboard, cut it out with my X-Acto knife and sanded all the edges. The black stars are all covered with Stickles and the large stars appear to "pop" off the layout because they are attached with Pop Dots.
Tracey lives in Escondido, California with her husband and three children. Although she has been scrapping for about ten years, she admits that she has only been seriously scrapping since she became a SAHM (stay-at-home mother) almost four years ago. Tracey spends a good portion of her time volunteering at her teenagers’ high school with activities such as team fundraising and being team Mom for several sports/groups, serving on the Athletic Boosters Committee, being the Volunteer Host Family Coordinator for the Australian Exchange Program and Chair of the Grad Nite Committee. Add to that taking care of the family, carpooling and her scrapping and she is one busy mom! Tracey is proud to be a member of the design teams for Rusty Pickle, Ever After Scrapbooks in Carlsbad, CA, and Crop Addict. You can visit Tracey at her blog called, “Wooooo Hooooo…”
