Pink Paislee | Pattern Piecing

This is a personal blog. All editorial content and projects are intellectual property of http://canoncreativegirl.blogspot.com/.  I do receive financial compensation and material product from Pink Paislee to develop my craft posts, but all ideas and opinions are my own.

Good morning!  Today on the Pink Paislee blog I am sharing  just one of the many ideas for using the Memorandum collection on a scrapbook page.  Memorandum is quickly becoming one of my new favorite collections to work with.  The patterns and embellishments go together so effortlessly.  I gathered together some of my favorite papers from the collection and embellishments.

I also added in some Mister Huey's black spray mist and some lovely gold foam Thickers from the Citrus Bliss collection.

One of my favorite techniques to do on a layout is pattern piecing.  To create this layout I first cut the Desktop Patterned Paper using a background cut file, then chose other papers from the collection to piece behind the open spaces before adhering it all down to a piece of white cardstock.

I get asked all the time what kind of adhesive I like to use when working with cut files and pattern piecing.  I like to use the American Crafts Sticky Thumb brand liquid pva glue.  It has a twist tip on it that allows me to place adhesive down in small areas.  Here is a closeup of my layout after I adhered everything down.
