altered book page

materials: gouache paints, markers, LE fabric, watercolor paper, stamps, staz on

altered gift bag

this is my take on the tutorial #1 for artzdescrap featuring ms lesley langdon on her altered gift bag.

Amazing and Cool

this layout makes use of the "tiptoe" position meaning the position of the layout is not uniform. notice the mixture of slant and straight alignment of the layout.

materials: noel LE collection; AC thickers; ATB christmas sayings; rub ons

inspirational board

this is an inspirational board i did during the application for a DT slot at artzdescrap.

i used various scraps and other embellishments for this board. this board serves as my inspiration...i use them mostly for scrapping my layouts like pics of my kids, stickers, chipboards, stamping, buttons, flowers, fibers, markers

you can display this kind of board when you scrap so that this will serve not only as an inspiration but also as an idea-"inputer" as well.
