The appeal of collage scrapbooking
Collage is such a fun scrapbook technique. When I’m having a bad day, making a collage brings back memories of elementary school. All that cutting, pasting, and rearranging is tremendously therapeutic.
The key to making a successful collage is to choose embellishments that coordinate with your photo. If you’re planning to frame a picture from your recent European vacation, for example, a map and some stickers of popular landmarks would be great accents for your collage. On a similar note, tiny seashells are a natural thing to include when making a collage background for a layout that showcases a photo of your daughter at the beach.
Of course, collage scrapbooking is also a great frugal way to embellish your layouts. A collage background can incorporate patterned paper scraps, bits of ribbon, leftover buttons, mismatched eyelets and brads, or extra silk flowers from your last project. Just remember to adhere your collage elements from top to bottom, left to right to avoid smudges, smears, and glue spills!
