Mixing Textiles, Make it Pop!

Sometimes simple paper and glue make the most beautiful pages, but sometimes you need that extra special something to make your page pop!

On this layout, I used fabric, canvas ribbon, denim and fabric feel fun foam!The hardest part was figuring out what adhesive to use. Anyone who scraps with me will laugh when I say this--This is not the time for glue dots... as they do not hold well on fun foam. I can tell you do not use the quick dry adhesive to glue down strips of fun foam, it curls the paper....next time I will try out the actual fun foam glue. I'll let you know if that works better. Anyway I had been saving this fabric feel bandana fun foam for years, its about time I find somewhere to use it. My son's Woody costume provided the perfect excuse. There are so many different textiles and textures out there- you just have to walk through your local craft store to find them and try them! We do not have to limit ourselves to one flat medium... I can't believe I am gonna say it... yes, Virginia, there is more in this world than plain old paper!
