"Be Jolly"

Hello dear friends!!!

I hope everyone is having a great time with your loved ones!!

This is my first post after 7 months of absence....

I want you to know that I am very well, spending time with my family. I am having a break from scrapbooking for personal reasons and this is why I did not renew any of my design team terms.

However, I still have a contract with Practical Publishing for the magazine "Scrapbook Magazine" UK and there are some layouts that I have not posted on by blog. I can only post them after publication.

This is one I made last year (November 2013) but it is seasonal and I thought it is a good opportunity to share it with you now!

Here are a few tips,

Tip: For an impressive look, cut your photo into 3 segments and mount them on paper mats. Make sure you choose an appropriate photo.

Tip: Create a banner across your page and write up your journaling opposite the main cluster.

Tip: If you want your splashes to be bold, use a brush, dip it into glimmer glam and flick randomly on the page. You can also use a pipette/dropper.

Tip: Use background stamps randomly to fill empty spots around your page.
