Technique of the Month: Do You Doodle?
Crafters Workshop Doodling Templates
by Rhonda Hurford
Doodle
-v., -dled, -dling, -dles. v.intr.
- To scribble aimlessly, especially when
preoccupied.
- To kill time.
v.tr. To draw (figures) while preoccupied. n. A
figure, design, or scribble drawn or written
absent-mindedly. I'm not sure that the definition
is "SPOT ON" when it comes to scrapbooking.
I like to think that I am totally occupied
while I have my scrapbooking products sitting
right in front of me. There are so many HOT
Trends when it comes to the world of scrapbooking,
and "Doodling" is becoming one of the HOTTEST!
Why? You might ask. Because it is easy! Anyone
can do it...and I mean ANYONE! I tend to be
drawn to the techniques that are simple.
Doodling
can be as simple as your own handy work or
hand drawn dash and dots, made using a photo
safe, archival pens and more. My favorite way
to add doodling to a page is using these wonderful templates made
by The Crafter's Workshop. Wow! It seems like
not so long ago that they had only a few to
choose from and now they have so many that
it is hard to choose and more releases expected
to ship in January.
Why
do I like these templates so well? For one
thing there are so many
different designs to choose from. Some
are themed while many are versitle enough to
use anywhere. They are inexpensive, reusable
and can be used in conjunction with each other
for additional designs. But wait, don't limit
your self to just doodling with pens.
Use chalks or
water colors for a more subtle look. Inks and
Glimmer Mist can be a great medium as well.
And if you have ever seen any of The
Memory Zone Designers Work, you will notice
they use them for stitching templates, as well.
Be sure to check out entire selection of Doodling
Templates in store or online. For even more
information on The
Crafter's Workshop Templates take a peak
at what they have to say. Then grab some templates
and get started....and HAVE FUN!
