Mud, mud wonderful
This time of year, most people with a scrapbook full of snow for Christmas. Well here in southern Africa, we have no snow at all, so just use the mud as a scrapbook idea and solution.
Why children clay you ask, is brown and sticky and really quite ugly, but somehow they seem to love. Very few can resist jumping in a puddle, or crushing hands around it. So you see there are so many opportunities to take photos of the rain and mud as there are for snow. It is a joy to capture a child who just fun to get all dirty and muddy.
Al scrapbook of your photo, try to find cardboard with a murky, brown or decayed and distressed look and feel to it. You're bound to find one or more to suit the mood of your photo.
When matting your photo, you can try giving the design a feeling of mud in the following ways:
Try dipping a crumpled kitchen towel roll in an attempt small ink brown or walnut. Squeeze the excess ink and carefully developed and let dry flat. The ink is spread through the towel randomly drop formation ink, as if the mud has been splashed on him.
You can also paint or use the heliographic technique to create their own mats for the photo in mottled coffee.
Crumpled paper (the kind used to cover books) can also be used behind the photo to accent and lift a little.
You could also try using burlap sack material in its design. This can be used either behind or behind your photo diary for added effect.
Scrapbooking stores at this time are full of wonderful browns ornaments made of particle board, wood or other types you can use. cotton twill is also cheaper to buy in local shops haberdashery. You can also try dipping your twill in brown ink, and will look great for muddied go with your design. You can then stamp your journal in twill, once it is dry and paste it into your design. You can also use chipboard letters in his diary, found in most good scrapbooking stores.
So there you have, you can have fun with the dirty pictures of her children. So let fetching mud!
