Fun Uses for Scallop Paper

Nikki Sivils makes some fun square scallop paper. Instead of using it as is, however, I decided to cut out the scallops out as a strip and layer them. I love how it turned out.

I did this layout for The Scrap Review using Nikki Sivils products.


Materials: Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker papers, brad and stamps; Ranger ink; American Crafts pen and thickers; Bazzil cardstock; my own mists

Here's a close-up so you can see the dimension that I achieved simply by bending the paper up.

A close-up of my journaling. I put it around the picture block so it acts as a border too.

On Bongo, I only used one scallop strip, but I stamped a cute heart on each bump. It adds some interest in an otherwise bland area.

Bongo is a special layout because it documents a book that my dad wrote for my children last December. Each day he sent a new chapter via email for us to read. The kids loved it because he personalized it for them. When he came to visit for a weekend, he brought the last chapter and read it to them. Then he gave each of them a three-legged elephant stuffie. (This elephant played a major role in the story and was named Bongo.) It was really sweet to see them all huddled around him in eager anticipation as he read.
