A Recent Favorite...

...technique, that is. For the giveaway last week I asked you to share your favorite paper crafting techniques with me. And you did! It's only fair that I do the same for you...

My favorite technique lately has been cutting out the details of a patterned paper and overlapping them onto a photo in the layout. I think it gives a sort of continuity to the design without obscuring the photo too much. And best of all, the only tool you need is a good exacto knife!

Here are a few layouts I've done using this technique:

(All these layouts were done with Sweet Pea Scraps kits. The first one was done with the October '07 kit and the last two with the September '07 kit.)
