When you think about mixed media products, you might think they work well for artsy pages, art journal pages, etc, and they sure do! Did you ever think they would work well for minimalist pages? They sure do! In fact, they can work for any style of scrapbooking. There is something there for everyone to utilize in their page design.
One of the things I love about mixed media products is how versatile they can be. The monthly mixed media kits always have such a varied selection of elements/paper/paint, alphas, etc. For my page, I selected these products from the September 2018 M3 collection, along with a textured white paper from the September 2018 add-on by Little Butterfly Wings. One of my fave elements from this collection is the quote with the 3 hearts…isn’t it adorable? One thing you will always find in the mixed media kits is amazing wordart, it never disappoints, in my opinion!
I clipped two photos onto the rectangle pieces and then changed the blend mode of the smaller piece, and then angled and overlapped them. The rest of the page came together quickly by scattering the remaining elements around the photos. The film strip edging piece I duplicated and placed horizontally across the lower right edge, then I applied a shadow to it. The flower I duplicated twice, resizing them both and recoloring one of them. This page came together very quickly.
I had decided to create my own design for my layout but I was very tempted to use the template that is included in the kit. Go check it out, it is awesome! I know I will use that another time.
Here’s my finished layout, using the above shown products from the September 2018 Mixed Media Monthly and add-on:
