I've continued to experiment with making 12x12 layouts and have two more to share.
The first layout came together as a way to experiment with some of the mixed media techniques I've been learning. I did some stenciling, some misting, some stamping, and even used a watercolor brush. Th papers and elements came from the Studio Calico June Kit.
I joined Studio Calico's scrapbook kit club a few months back as a way to get some different products in to work with. I have mixed feelings about it, but I think that's the point. I wanted to see some new things and stretch myself to use some new items.
This second layout uses mostly Maggie Holmes. I did add a few elements from Heidi Swapp. In this layout I actually used three journal cards and it was fun to look at them in a new way. One I cut to make the tab behind the photo. For additional layering I slide that cut excess under it a bit. The tag was cut from a journal card and I even hid some of that excess under another layer too. It was a great way to add depth without using more product.
