Here's another layout for you to use up some of your scraps. I've used Fancy Pants My Family (strips) paper for my base along with little bits and pieces of Fancy Pants left overs and other bits and pieces. I've created a LO for 2 6x4 photos this month.
First, roughly mark where your photos will go on the base paper. (sorry that these photos are not too clear)
Make some uneven spaced vertical folds in your b/ground paper.
and ink along the folds very randomly.......try to avoid the photo area a little (it won't matter too much but just in case you get an inked line running somewhere you don't want iykwim) I forgot to take a pic of how I inked along the folds so did this sample one with some cardstock. It's a bit difficult when you only have 2 hands
You need to keep the fold upright and tight and just swipe the ink pad across the top of the fold. I was trying to balance the ink pad on top of the fold but you need to sort of pinch the paper together tightly so the fold is sharp.
Then you make some uneven folds horizontally and ink those as well.
and this is what you should end up with.
Now you can gather up some supplies.....bits and pieces that you think will co-ordinate with your papers/photos etc. You may not use all of them but have a bit out just in case.
I put a splash of paint where I wanted my title to go and also in a square where I will put some journalling.
and away you go......start laying our all your little bits and pieces on the squares/rectangles and if you have missed a bit with the ink and it doesn't look too solid, carry the embellie over onto the next square.
When you are close to being happy with how it is looking you can distress some of the embellies if you want and start sticking them down.
You can add some doodling....
and add more on top of what you have already added.
Have fun.
I'll draw a name from the entries in the gallery folder at month's end and pop a little RAK in the mail to the winner.
