Magazine Organizing
By · CommentsSubmitted by Tonia
I love the indexes at year’s end but I dislike having to search through my stack of magazines to find the year end issue. So I scanned the index into the computer. Now I just pull up the file and quickly browse through the topics to find what I am looking for and then know exactly which magazine the article was in so I don’t have to try and remember where and when I saw the article. I have scanned previous year’s indexes as well.
Inking Small Spaces
By · CommentsWhen you go to ink your letters or chipboard, don’t forget to get into the small spaces between! It is relatively easy to do and makes the project look finished.
You can do this by using several everyday items that are found in your bathroom. I tend to keep some Q-Tips in my scraproom now to use to get into the crevices. If you moisten the Q-Tip just a little bit it can make the ink look smoother and you can avoid the dark edges. (Alot of the times, I like it dark and grungy!)
When I want a softer ink look on my project, I reach for the makeup sponges. The small triangle sponges that you find at the makeup isle in your local drugstore. I just rip a small piece of it off and use it to apply my ink. It always gives such a nice, soft effect.
Finally, for those tiny holes in your alphas grab a handy dandy toothpick. Just roll it in some ink and poke it through the little hole. Voila!
Layout Layering
By · CommentsOne of the things I love to see on a layout is layering. I did the following layout of my dog, Storm, that we had to put down two weeks ago.
See how all the papers are layered and distressed? It adds instant dimension to a page and visual interest.
I challenge you to layer your papers and email your creation to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot for the monthly draw!
