Good Times Mixed Media Layout

Happy Monday! Today I'm excited to share a mixed media layout that I made last week. I was inspired by this scrapbook layout that Jen Chapin made with a Studio Calico kit. I don't make a lot of mixed media scrapbook layouts, but I have been trying to step out of my comfort zone.



The boys and I went to the playground and took so many great photos. Of course I had to make a few layouts documenting our fun day.

I decided to use my Dylusions Paints for this layout. I used three different colors and then added a few dots on the cardstock. Then I spread the paint across the page. Once the paint dried, I added my photo and the transparent title. I used a ruler and added some journaling lines. Then I embellished the layout with some enamel dots and stickers. I felt that the bottom right of the layout was "empty" so I used a stamp set to add an additional title and used a wood veneer ampersand. To complete my layout, I added my journaling.

Below is a close up of my layout.


I plan to make a few more mixed media layouts and can't wait to share them with you.

How was your weekend?

Thanks for visiting!

Until next time...

  2. I LOVE IT!!
    Paint has been my new favourite medium to use because white paper is cheap and you can jazz up any page with it. I really love this!

    1. Thank you Kimberly! I love that all you need is white paper, paint, and a couple of brushes. There are so many different techniques that you can use to make art so unique.
