Ten Top Tips Thursday

The "Ten Top Tips Thursday" this week are from the readers from my recent competition I had asking for your top tips.

1. Use multiple photos from the same event to tell the story in pictures.
2. Layering different materials on a layout adds texture and interest.
3. Use various embroidery stitches to soften harsh lines and provide a rich texture.
4. Journal around the outside of the main photo to create a funky border.
5. Lay see through ribbon over patterned paper or cardstock to change the appearance and colour. Sent in by: Catherine Denta, Glandore SA
   

1. Baby wipes or Wet Ones are perfect to use to clean your stamps.Age a layout by applying uneven strokes of paint around the edges of photos or cardstock.
2. Instead of journaling about a person in a layout, use a quote and word list to describe the person or event.
3. Weave a strip of paper or card through square clips to make the clip look like a buckle.Use patterned papers with matching tags to create a coordinated look on a layout.
4. Create letter title's by using a large font size like 150pt to print letters then cut the out.
5. Raise journaling by printing on acetate, then add embossing powder and heat on low with a heat gun. Sent in by: Erica Tolan, Castle Hill SA
