Hi Sarah here with a quick and easy tutorial to show you how to make a stacked mat for your photo
and use up lots of those little bits and pieces that are too cute to throw but
too small to be really useful!
Assemble your collection into a pile of an appropriate size to mat your photo with lots of different patterns, shapes and textures peeping out between layers. Ink and distress the edges of the papers if desired.
When you are happy with your pile staple it all together - use as many staples as you need because they will be hidden under your photo and won't show on your finished page.
Top your pile with your photo. Add more stickers, rub-ons, tags etc to complete the look you desire.
Adhere to your LO and voila - and effective mat that looks as though you spent ages preparing it :)))
Hope you are inspired to give this a go.
Have a great day
