Doodling has been around since people started writing and drawing. …so why not use it in scrapbooking?!

To add a fun stitched look to your layout, try doodling! Simply draw lines around the edges of the paper to get the look of a simple single stitch. Also, try using other colors to achieve different looks. I doodled on a layout using the July kit.

Simple stuff, right?! Give it a try on your next project. 🙂

The first thing I did was paint my whole canvas in a citron green.  Then I took the chipboard template I made for the “designer add-on” which is a sketch of a daisy and painted the surface with white acrylic paint.  I “stamped” it on my canvas and then went back and filled in the spaces with white paint in order to bring out the daisy print.  After it was dry and I went over the flower with a black zig pen.  Then I drew in some leaves and painted those green.

When my canvas was dry I added the other embellies I had in my kit and voila, this little piece of inspiration will be mounted in my scrap room.

“How do you add extra pop to your projects?”

To be quite honest, I’m all about dimension. To add dimension, use tons of foam adhesive to die cuts, letters, stickers, etc. You name it, I’ve used foam on it. 😉

For instance, here are some examples I created using this month’s sold-out kit:

In the above layout, by adding foam adhesive to the back of my cut out flowers, it adds some pizazz to my overall page.

Also, try adding foam to the back of letters. It definitely makes your title pop!

Besides making your projects look neat, using foam adhesive to add dimension also saves you tons of money. It’s a great way to make it look like your own handmade embellishments.

…so next time you feel like there’s something missing on your project, try adding dimension using foam adhesives.

Hugs,
sarah.
