Jen Matott here to share a scrapbook page that I did recently with the focus on a found object that is a constant in my artwork. I was walking along and found this doily on the sidewalk. I was on vacation so I hadn't brought my materials with me to create… this was a serendipidous find! It was outside a restaurant and I took a photo of it with my feet.
This page started on a woodgrain print paper and some paint was added to the background. I used Helmar Quickfix Permanent Tape Runner to adhere all the paper layers down. That tape is quick and easy and grabs right on!
I added some fun elements like the kraft paper camera embellishment and wanted it to be raised up on the page so I used 1/4" ZapDots! They are perfect for some height on the page and are so easy to use!
There was this cool pastel paper and I added a few different font stickers to create the title. I never trust that the adhesive of these stickers will stay so I use the Helmar Craft Glue on it for good measure. It also holds wooden embellishments perfectly too! I backed the frame with some paper.
Finally, I added some ribbon and a fabric flower and adhered both with Helmar Fabric Glue. It won't soak through the fabric and holds the fabric on most any surface!
Make sure you look down when you are out for a walk and see what treasures you see! I wish I had kept this little doily but I'm sure I'll find more treasures soon! Have a creative day!
