Scrap Your Summer with Nicole Wright

September 3, 2020 No Comments

Summer is slowly slipping away but that doesn’t mean we can’t capture those moments and scrap them. Hello fellow creatives, Nicole here bringing you a scrappy layout! I know… not my usual gig. However, I have a new paper collection releasing with Wild Whisper called Tinbit Travels and I wanted to scrap with it. I created these mixed media pages to mimic the outdoors with colours and texture. Check out this easy layout for my Airstream, Tinbit. Tinbit Travels is about to release. For this layout I cut every sheet. Yes, that was surprisingly difficult. I printed out a 5×7 Tinbit photo and gathered some supplies to get inspired. I cut each piece of the mixed media side of the Tinbit Travels pages 1 ¾”x 11”. Because each mixed media page is designed with the textures of nature, I wanted to add all that pop of colour. You can use…
