Well, hello there my fellow Moxxie maniacs!\u00a0 Renee from Scrap Owl<\/a> back with you again to share an awesome technique with an incredible line.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As you can see, this is a very “manly man” layout.\u00a0 To be honest with you, I HATE doing “manly man” layouts.\u00a0 I want sequins, bling, and pretties on my layouts.\u00a0 Man layouts always seem so blah, blah, blah to me. But, when my scrappy buddy Kerri showed me pics of her firefighter hubby splashing through the mud during a bike race, I blurted out, “I have paper for that!” \u00a0Please tell me that I’m not the only one that gets excited when I find pictures that match my paper!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, with my “manly man” pictures in hand, and this amazing new Fun Run line<\/a> from Moxxie, I got to work trying to avoid the usual blahness of my man layouts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To jazz this one up a little, I used my Xacto knife to cut out a curvy shape out of the Got Mud patterned paper that would fit my pictures.\u00a0 Then I used my scissors to distress the inside of the shape. Finally, I inked the distressed edges with brown ink that blended nicely with the original color of the page. Moxxie’s paper soaks up the ink so well, and the white core allows for a variety of shades of ink. This really helps provide a sense of dimension on the layout.<\/div>\n
