Scrapbooking Made Simple

Another idea I had was to take small canvases, I've used 3.5 inches x 4 inches and decorate them. These were very cheap at $1.50 each.

Here I used papers from my stash and multiple photos (the small ones on the left are all sections of the large photo) to fill the space. The paper flower is from my K and Co Pad of flowers. For the photo corner I used off cuts of the background cardstock. Cut it to shape. Inked the edge lightly and then used kindy glitz (which I also used around each flower on the paper flower) and attached it with pop dots. The title was a large chipboard letter which I inked and an inkadoo stamp on the background cardstock. Which I then cut around and cut off the first letter and then applied to the layout with pop dots. The journalling was done straight on the page with a scrapbook suitable pen. I had lots of background paper available to make my title and p...
