My favorite Scrapbooking techniques

Once you have done scrapbooking for a while, you will find that when you look through your albums made with love, you will see some things that tend to repeat. We all have our favorite techniques and those who tend to repeat over and over again, but the joy of scrapbooking is that no matter how you use the same technique, will never be created on the same page twice. Each page in your scrapbooking album will be unique as it should be, even if you use the same technique on all layouts.

Looking through my album, these are my three Favorites obvious:

1. Tear

This is obviously top of the list for me. Almost every second page has tear somewhere in the layout. I tend to use this technique a lot of mat my photographs. I like the look of plain white cardstock framing a picture with a look ragged. This works especially well on black and white photographs.

I also like ripping off feelings or formulation for my layout. Perhaps it is because tear is a technique of rapid and has the element of surprise, as you know enough about how it's going to pan.

Some of my wallpapers are torn in half and glued onto another coloured paper, which can also be very effective.

2. Puzzle

A couple of years ago I bought this wonderful little tool at the craft shop that cuts your photograph puzzle style. Godo then putting together the photo back, and then mat with the angle slightly removed from the rest of the puzzle.

Another way to do what is fun is to cut your photo in random places and then join and leaving even the pieces slightly apart. Make sure that you are not using your original photo for this one.

3. Brads & eyelets

Almost all of my layouts have a brad, eyelet, or both. Invested in a bunch a few years ago and really got my money's worth out of it. Is great for punching holes a little everywhere on your layout for your Brads and also for setting your grommets in place. A good tool will give you loads of holes of different sizes and even options for update for embossing.

Brads & eyelets are useful little goodies that can be used in many creative ways. You can attach embellishments or simply decorate the layout.

It would be nice to hear from other fans of scrapbooking use regularly. Feel free to leave a comment on my http://scrapbookideasandsolutions.blogspot.com blog
