    I've watched it twice, so far. This second time, I paused the video to add a collage element to my page, then listen to some more. I'm saving this one to refer to again and again. Thank you!

    I really enjoy seeing the zoom-in on your pages. They look completely different up close. I just love the detail I can make out.

    This was wonderful, thank you! Tearing my elements instead of cutting them was a game changer for me- soooo much more fun looking!!!🎉

    1. MIX types of papers and build up layers - (book pages, junk mail, receipts, wrappers, news paper, magazine, music notes)
    2. implement TORN edges instead of rigid cut for an organic feel
    3. (3:07) “COLLAGE CLUSTERS”, visually cohesive/complimentary compositions of papers of different sizes
    4. image cut outs (images, photographs, books)
    5. WASHI TAPE - creates visual interest
    6. STICKERD (can be free from packaging)
    7. STITCHING - use thread, 3D tactile element
    8. FABRIC - (staples or fabric glue)
    9. get creative with TEXT - cut out letters or text or create with pens and paint
    10. think outside the box when it comes to elements you can include, FOUND elements are great (leaves, flowers, packaging etc.)
