As with any great scrapbook page, start with great pictures. Black and white or color, it doesn’t matter. Try mixing the two, as we did in this project, for another effect. For scrappin’ on the wall projects, use large sized pictures, so they don’t get lost in the project.

Any art canvases will look good. Try using different sizes and shapes (square with rectangle, or a very large 12 x 12 with a smaller 4 x 4). In this project we used canvases that are different depths to add more dimension to the project.

The most common backgrounds are paint and paper. You don’t have to limit yourself to these. Be creative! Add texture with sand, textured paint, fabric or wire mesh. The possibilities are endless.  In this project we painted all of the canvases the same color to create a coordinated look. You can also use different colored paint on each segment of your project to make individual pieces stand out.

As with scrapbooking, you can use just about anything to embellish your project. On this one we used beads and charms for depth, ribbon to add luster and coordinate the pieces. We created the text in a variety of ways with a metal tag, letter tiles, painted wood letters, and flat glass stones.
