Holiday Memories Kit
Layout design by Veronica Johnson for About Scrapbooking

 

        

Tip From Veronica: "Don't be afraid to cut apart pre-designed scrapbook pages! If you notice the border on the left hand side of the first page, you will see 3 "scraps" of paper, only one of those scraps actually started out there. The other two were cut off of the sheet of "Finishing Touches" and added by cutting slits in the background sheet with my swivel knife.

Another great way to make your layout look dimensional is to again use your swivel knife and cut around the edges of the flat embellishments (holly leaves and evergreen sprigs on all of the accents were slit along a side and pictures slid under to create the over lapping look).

Duplicating accents in the printed sheet will also help bind your layout together. I used gold cord to mimic the wrapped look of some of the existing accents onto my tag and large vellum covered photo." (see close up photo below) Also note how Veronica used mini-brads to create journaling pocket for the tag, behind her photo. (photo 2 below)
