Layering Techniques Demonstrated
Throughout the video, Jana shares several valuable techniques for achieving that perfect layered look:
- Staggered paper layers – Creating depth by slightly offsetting each paper layer

- Dimension with foam adhesive – Using varying heights to create real dimension
- Die cutting for custom elements – Creating unique shapes that fit your specific layout
- Mixing textures – Combining smooth cardstock with dimensional elements for visual interest
Scrapbooking Tips for Multi-Photo Layouts

- Create visual balance by distributing colors and elements across the page
- Use layers to frame and highlight your most important photos
- Group related photos together with shared embellishment clusters
- Mix photo sizes to create visual hierarchy – larger for key moments, smaller for supporting images
- Allow white space between photo groupings to give the eye a place to rest
