March winners and our April 3T's ...

I will be announcing our March winners shortly but first I would like to introduce you to our April edition of Tips, Tricks and Techniques brought to you by team member Helene Bogren. 


Using micro and glass beads by Helene Bogren

I guess many of you are familiar with micro beads and glass beads. If there are some of you who have not really found a way to use them yet, or if you think it is not your style, I will try to give you some inspiration. What I will do is to show you some different ways to use them as a complement, without letting them take over the design.

You can use them to frame the photo:

To highlight embellishments:

To highlight a pattern on a patterned paper:

To highlight a stamped motive:

Or just to get an effect on your page. On this layout I wanted it to look a bit like snow.

I only use beads in small areas and they are very easy to apply, but I still think it makes a big difference to the layout.

 If you want to see the layouts in their entirety you will find them on my blog at:
