However, it’s often a little tricky making sure the photos aren’t overwhelmed by the paper. 1) be generous Text patterns are back, and Jennifer Wilson used “holiday-love” themed paper to set the tone for “Love Actually is all Around.” The mat is a much lighter color than the patterned paper AND than the photos on it. Love Actually is All Around by Jennifer Wilson of Simple Scrapper 2) lay a foundation The bright geometric patterned paper on the background of “Hangin’ Poolside” by Alicia Geiss is wonderful for this juicy summer page. These scalloped mats ground the other elements to the page – everything sits on or flows through them.These mats with their very pale pattern provide resting space for the eyes. Hanging Poolside by Alicia Geiss for Scrapbooks.com Foundations is the focus of Lesson #4 in Building Pages. 3) it’s ok to be busy The paper is busy and could be overpowering. 4) pop it 6) go negative

a quick tutorial : : book beads « the smallest forest I haven’t added any text instructions, because I think the photos are clear enough. All that’s left to do know is make a whole heap of these, in different shapes (but always symmetrical shapes!) and sizes, and stringing them up. This uses the same binding method used to make childrens board-books…the only difference is that you glue the front and back cover together, as well, and create a book in the round, without and ending or beginning…and that’s some pretty heavy symbolism for a pretty paper bead! Have fun!

Tattered Angels | Creators of Glimmer Mist and Scrapbooking Supplies It’s the moment we have ALL been waiting for–Tattered Angels is proud to release our newest addition to the TA family, Tattered Tangles, a collection of papers that inspires coloring inside of the lines and thinking outside of the box. When we were thinking about our newest line under the Tattered Angels brand, we had two objectives in mind: 1. Create a line that served as a starting place, but was open enough to let one’s creativity run free 2. Keep the line versatile enough to allow one’s personality to guide the direction of their project Complete with (6) 12″ x 12″ papers and (6) Tattered Tangles packs (sizes vary), the papers were designed to work with any color palette. To give you better insight into this new line of papers, we sat down with TA designer JoAnne Doshier to hear her thoughts on the making of Tattered Tangles. Q: What was your inspiration for creating Tattered Tangles. A: When creating, it’s often helpful to have a place to start. A: Yes, that is what is so exciting.
