Scrapbooking Challenge: Product Prompts

Are You up for a fun and creative scrapbooking challenge? In this video, I will take you through my process of using product prompts to Create a unique and interesting scrapbook layout. Join me as I randomly select three different products and find innovative ways to incorporate them into my design.

Introduction

Hello, everyone! Today, I have a different kind of video for you. I wanted to challenge myself and push the boundaries of my creativity. So, I came up with the idea of using "product prompts" to create a scrapbooking layout. The concept is simple: I randomly select three different scrapbooking products and find creative ways to use them. It's a challenge that will test my skills and hopefully inspire you too!

The Challenge: Product Prompts

I searched everywhere online, but I couldn't find any pre-made lists of scrapbooking products to use as prompts. So, I took it upon myself to create my own list. It includes a wide range of products, from basic stickers to more unique items like modeling paste and dewdrops. The goal is to use these products in new and unexpected ways, pushing the boundaries of traditional scrapbooking.

The Rules of the Challenge

To make the challenge even more exciting, I set three rules for myself. First, I will randomly select three different products from the list. This adds an element of surprise and ensures that I have to work with whatever comes up. Second, I aim to use each selected product in a new and innovative way, pushing my creative boundaries. And finally, there's no passing on any product that comes up. I must find a way to incorporate it into my layout, no matter what.

Getting Started: Adding Photos and Creating Flip-Up Pages

Before diving into the product prompts challenge, I begin by adding photos to my scrapbook layout. I want to create a flip-up page design, allowing me to include more photos without overwhelming the overall layout. By adding hinges and cutting slits in the page protectors, I can create interactive elements that add interest and provide a unique viewing experience.

Selecting the Papers and Embellishments

Now that the foundation of my layout is ready, it's time to choose the papers and embellishments. For this layout, I opt for Simple Stories' "Frankie and Friends" paper collection, specifically the "Trick or Treat" paper, and Bella Boulevard's "Halloween Magic" paper. I also use black soot distress ink to distress the edges of the papers, adding depth and dimension to the design.

Using the Prompts: Transparency, Modeling Paste, and Dewdrops

Here comes the exciting part: using the product prompts! I randomly select three prompts: transparency, modeling paste, and dewdrops. These prompts will challenge me to think outside the box and find unique ways to incorporate them into my layout. Let's see how I tackle each one!

Adding Texture and Color with Modeling Paste

With the modeling paste prompt, I have the opportunity to add texture and dimension to my layout. I decide to use it on a grunge board skull from Tim Holtz, changing the color and giving it a distinct textured look. By applying black acrylic paint to the modeling paste, I create a dark gray effect that beautifully contrasts with the other elements on the page.

Making the Wood Veneer Stand Out

Next, I focus on the wood veneer prompt. To make the wood veneer piece, which says "31," stand out, I first Apply purple distress stain. However, the color is not dark enough for my liking. So, I switch to black acrylic paint and carefully paint the veneer, creating a bold and striking effect. After drying the paint, I emboss the "31" with purple embossing powder, adding a touch of elegance and shine.

Applying Alcohol Ink to the Transparency

For the transparency prompt, I experiment with alcohol ink. I apply the ink onto the transparency, creating a colorful and vibrant effect. I also decide to stamp on the transparency to incorporate it into the layout. The transparency becomes a unique element, adding interest and depth to the design.

Embossing the Elements: Adding Embossed Details

To add a touch of elegance and sophistication, I decide to emboss certain elements on the layout. I emboss the "31" wood veneer, giving it a glossy and raised finish. Additionally, I emboss the stamped images on the transparency, ensuring they stand out and create a visually appealing focal point.

Creative Placement: Stamping on the Transparency

Continuing with the transparency, I decide to use it strategically in the layout. I cut out portions of the transparency and use them as the eyes of the grunge board skull. This unexpected placement adds a unique twist to the design and catches the viewer's Attention. The transparency becomes an integral part of the overall composition, adding depth and intrigue.

Using Dewdrops as Embellishments

The final prompt, dewdrops, offers an opportunity for creative embellishment. I use alcohol ink to change the color of the dewdrops, customizing them to match the overall color scheme of the layout. These dewdrops act as enamel dots, adding pops of color and texture to the design. I secure them using glossy accents, ensuring they stay in place and enhance the visual appeal of the layout.

Adding Finishing Touches: Sequins and Stars

To complete the layout, I add a touch of Sparkle with sequins and stars. I scatter them strategically across the page, adding a festive and whimsical touch. The sequins and stars create depth and visual interest, elevating the overall design and making it truly stand out.

Conclusion

And there you have it! I have successfully completed the product prompts challenge and created a unique and visually stunning scrapbooking layout. This challenge pushed my creative boundaries and forced me to think outside the box.
