A cluster can be as big or small as you like, depending on your scrapbooking style, your budget, and what will work in the space that you have on your page. The definition of a cluster is a grouping of elements to form a bunch. So whether that’s three or 10 things, as long as they are grouped together you’ve got yourself a cluster. For scrapbooking purposes, your cluster can consist of almost anything, the possibilities are pretty much endless and there are no rules or regulations – just go with what’s in your stash and enjoy the process! Firstly, let’s look at some ideas for items that can be used in clusters (in no particular order): Flowers, chipboard pieces, die-cuts, leaves, muslin, threads, buttons, lace, doilies, brads, feathers, ribbons/bows,…

STEP 1 Tear a sheet of patterned paper horizontally into strips. Don’t tear in straight lines, make sure the tears are uneven. You can have as many strips of the patterned paper as you want. Be careful not to mix up your strips of patterned paper, try to keep them in order from bottom to top next to where you’re working. STEP 2 On a plain white piece of cardstock, start from the bottom and glue your first piece of patterned paper to the bottom edge of it. Then tuck a couple of the pieces of lace randomly underneath the torn edges of the pattered paper, placing them so they will just peek out when you adhere the next paper strip. Once you’re happy with the location of the lace,…

I personally cannot afford the latest and greatest – not that it’s really my preference anymore. Non-traditional scrappy items are where it’s at. They can boost your mojo and help your creativity flow by challenging you to think how you can use them on your page. A few years ago I decided to remove patterned paper from my scrapbooking process. Mixed-media products were dominating my layouts and after realising that it had been many months since I had used any patterned paper, it was a simple decision to make. I couldn’t keep up with the amount of new paper ranges released by the big brands anyway. But I still had to fill space on my page. This is where non-traditional scrap items came in. Items like doilies, placemats, envelopes, diary…

Brush scripts and effects are very on-trend at the moment, and I knew my Copic markers would add some fun brush effects to my projects. As I use my Copics in a larger way with airbrushing, I keep refills of each of the colours I have as you do go through them a little more quickly. I created a really fun paintbrush background on my ‘Always be happy’ layout by adding some ink from the refill to a small jar. I then took a medium-sized brush with a pointy end and dipped it into the ink. Working quickly I added brush strokes all over the background. I additionally added some droplets to the layout by shaking it over the cardstock, it really added to the effect. To create a little…

Basically, letterpress is printing with a hard plate (letters or images) which is inked and then ‘pressed’ into the paper to leave a reverse image in the paper (I use thick letterpress paper to get a beautiful, deep impression). I love using letterpress on cards, in Project Life pockets, on scrapbooking layouts and pretty much anywhere else I can think to include it. I must admit, I’ve been fascinated by all things printing/type since I first learned about Gutenberg and his early typographic printing technique in my seventh-grade history class. Over the years I’ve dabbled in stamping, masking, monotype printing (with lino cuts, Styrofoam takeaway boxes, plastic bags, carved wood, etc.), calligraphy, embossing and even carving and then printing with my own stamps, so when I discovered the L-Letterpress system…
