Using Scraps & Textiles in Your Papercrafting

Citrus Twist Kits Make It A Venti Kit in Life Crafted Album - Lydia Cost

I wanted to create a lot of texture and dimension for this particular project, so I pulled out my scrap stash.  I save all kinds of textiles, papers, and interesting scraps in my bin, and I knew I wanted to mix some in with this month's gorgeous kit!

For this side of my spread, I layered on a torn book page, a 3x4 card as my title, and this great textile I actually cut off a sweater that I loved without it.  It was such a beautiful color and for some reason I loved that chicken wire design.  I knew I wanted to layer it behind my photo as a little page tab.

For the opposing page, I continued the torn born page to create a cohesive look, and I also layered on the same elements.  I made sure my photos on each page were within the same color pattern.  In fact these photos inspired the entire color scheme of this spread.  I love doing that sometimes!

I finished up the spread with a pink tab and those great leaf pieces from the ephemera pack this month.  It was such an easy spread, but I loved all the texture and dimension.  It was such a treat to just play without thought of the outcome.
