Hello all my artsy friends! I am back with another quick tip to help you customize your photo edges to match the color scheme of your digital pages. We have a fabulous SOSN 50% off sale today with all kinds of digital kits loaded with fall colors and goodness.

Yay for September M3!

Here are some of the add-on kits that were designed to coordinate with the main kit: Delicious, right? I want to scoop all of these up to use with my recent photographs. And you can … [Read more...]

The possibilities are endless, use your imagination, tryWhat I love about the mixed media products is the variety and versatility, being suitable for any scrapbook style. Almost any products can be utilized in creating backgrounds but I find the mixed media line-up of products to be a good starting point because you will always find paper, elements, stamps, word art, paint and overlays to choose from.To start creating my background paper, I choose a textured pink paper from the M3 March 2018 collection. Then I added a few doodles and elements. I choose a soft jagged edged brush, chose a slightly darker color than the base paper, and at a low opacity I brushed over the large … [Read more...]
