A
New Look for Stickers
Creating a scene is a fresh way to incorporate your favorite stickers
onto your page. How is this different than simply arranging stickers at
the bottom of a white background page? Notice how Amy arranged the
stickers to interact with the torn paper background for a
three-dimensional effect.
Torn
Paper Scene
Amy tore strips of three different yellow patterned papers and
alternated them in layers at the bottom of the blue gingham background
paper for "sand." "Since Paper
Pizazz is patterned on the front and white on the back,
tearing the paper toward you will result in a white edge," advises Amy.
The little
boy and little girls stickers are placed on one of the "dunes," while
smaller beach toy stickers are scattered about in the sand. Paper
Pizazz stickers are on a clear acetate background; there's no
white border to interfere with your scene.
"These
colors and patterns not only match the colors in the photo, they also
reinforce the cheerful theme of the page," says Amy, adding, "And these
adorable stickers are perfect for this theme!"
Picking
Patterned Papers
We think these brightly colored papers are perfect for this page,
enhancing the colors in the photograph as well as the colors in the
stickers. Amy's color and paper combination makes the page bright,
fresh, and fun.
Maybe you
think this paper combination is a little too bright, fresh, and fun?
Concerned that the patterns will overwhelm your photo? Follow the
Golden Rule of Patterned Papers: Always mat your photos onto a solid
before placing them onto a patterned paper. Notice how Amy matted the
picture on white before placing it onto the pink dot paper - then
matted it again before placing it onto the blue background. She used
the same technique for the journaling plaque.
(And no
you don't have to pick and choose, mix and match or hunt all over town
for these pattered papers. We've coordinated them for you. All of these
patterned papers can be found in Paper Pizazz Bright Tints.)

Instead, we're on the lookout for fresh, fun ways to scrap with
