Random Layering and Mixed Media - Scrapbook Process 262

Hello, everyone! Today's scrapbook process video is a random work of art! If you're doing a no-spend year and have to shop your scrapbook stash, then this is the layout for you. 

I started with a base of Vicki Boutin Foundations paper and sprayed it with some Shabby Shutters from Tim Holtz. Then I splattered on a little Kitsch Flamingo because I like how green and pink look together.

I originally had an idea for the layout of the photos, but after I did the mixed media, I realized that my first idea wasn't going to work. So I rearranged my photos and overlapped the edges. Only one photo has a cardstock mat, and that was intentional. I sometimes like to have one photo stand out against the others by adding a mat, especially when I've got a lot of photos on a page.

Then it was time to add some additional layers behind the photos. I grabbed a plastic bag filled with bits of scrap paper and just started experimenting with layering them all together and behind the photos. 

 

I'm so pleased with how this all turned out! I hope that you watch the video and that it inspires you to try your hand at random layering or creating your own mixed media background or BOTH! Thanks for looking.
