Video | Using the Story Board kits with Natalie Elphinstone

One of my favourite go-to techniques lately is to scrap a really large photo. It's a great way of keeping the focus on the image and the story it tells whilst enhancing it with some carefully selected papers and embellishments. Now I don't know about you but I don't have a great quality expensive printer and I certainly don't have one that prints on 12x12" paper....heck... I don't even own photo-quality paper! But what I do have is a few fun tricks to share on how you can work around all that and still end up with a page that captures the attention and successfully hides a multitude of photographic and printer short-fallings.

I love using these easy techniques to create a page with an oversize photo that looks like it's been printed directly onto canvas. It's quite textural in real life and I have to resist the temptation to keep running my hands over it! What I also love about scrapping with large photos is that you don't need a lot of other supplies to finish off the page, so it's a great design to use when you're nearly at the end of your kit and you want to finish off all those leftovers.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my video today. I hope I've inspired you to try out some of these techniques yourself. If you do then I'd love to check them out, leave a link in the comments and I'll be sure to visit!
