Bulk Up Your Pages With Layers

by Kristi Hellyer

Okay, so "bulking up" isn't always  desirable for us women, but in scrapbooking it can be a good thing!  Adding layers to a scrapbook page is easy and makes for a gloriously lumpy and interesting creation.  First, don't be afraid to cover up parts of elements that are really pretty.  Leaving little bits of certain embellishments sticking out from under other pieces is so very pleasing to the eye.  Second, get some foam tape or pop dots.  Dimensional adhesive is addictive and facilitates the layering process.  Third, check out what these booya girls did with layering and get inspired!

Kimber is a layering genius.  She used this KI lace cardstock with all the numbers over top of her photos- and even though you cannot see every detail of the photos under it, you totally get the point of the page with the feature photo on top and that great title too, which is layered on top of everything else.  Genius I tell you.

Debbie makes layers in an extremely elegant manner.  Not only did she use all these patterns expertly, but she layered the papers over cardstock to make them stand out more.  Her flower is layered with clear elements and paper ribbon, but notice the rubons layered on top of the clear elements!  So very elegant.

Amanda's layering style is totally bright and happy and fabulously lumpy.  This layout's design would have been great without the flowers, but just look at the personality they add.   She could have just cut out one flat flower shape, topped it with a button and been done with it, but the layers upon layers of flowers all on top of each other really make this page stand out.  Fabulously lumpy.

Alissa used layering in a completely practical way, layering letters and other chipboard items so she could use easter themed embellishments on a non-easter page.  This is a super way to use those embellishments you just don't have the photos for.  Make them work for you by layering!

And don't forget about paint when adding layers to your pages.  On my 'sisters' page, I started out with some masking and a paint daubber.  Then, even though the Fancy Pants overlay is really pretty, I layered over top of it with flowers and buttons and cut out stamped letters edged with glitter for my title.  This page was so fun to create!
