This is your prompt: Fat or Flat? I am asking about your scrapbook pages. Are they mostly flat, or do they have bumpy elements on them? Anywhere from diecuts raised on foam tape to puffy stickers to buttons and flares to flowers and ribbon bows? How much texture do you feel you NEED to have on a page for it to be complete? Corrugated cardboard, anyone? Distressed and curled edges? What about stencils with texture paste, or dimensional paints? Or enamel dots or paint splatters?
I tend to have a bit of bulk on most of my pages, and a LOT of it on some. My masculine pages tend to have gears and clocks and other metal elements on them. I also use more "roughed up" edges, crumpling, thicker twine. My girlie pages tend to have flowers or butterflies or some fluffy element. And on either one, I like to add a little wood veneer, or some of those cute little wooden pieces.
When I am scrapping with friends, I will find that my style tends to sway toward theirs, so my pages will go on a diet when scrapping with some people, and fatten up when I am with a different group. So my challenge to you is: Go to the Other Side! If your pages are usually flat, add some substance to one. If you are usually piling it on, try creating a flat page for a change.
Have fun!

This is your prompt: Fat or Flat? My pages are just a little chubby. I don't use metal. Or wood veneer. I love enamel dots. And am not a stranger to pop-dots to lift a diecut or paper punchie. I have embossing folders for some texture, and like the effect when I drag them out to use them. |

usually flat - I'll use some buttons, popdots, flowers, eyelets/brads but that's as lumpy as I get

both, but these days I lean a little more flat...like Linda and Lavender...
It has been a long time since I did something really 'fat', but I have

I have a scrappy friend who was the lumpy queen in the day and she has switched to fairly flat pages because of the damage the lumpy stuff caused to the adjacent pages.
I use a lot of memorabilia so my pages can get pretty fat. I love 3D elements on my pages

Nothing thicker than a brad, wood veneer, or chipboard. I find that once the layout is inside the sheet protector I can't really appreciate bulky items anyway. Also, once I started having to store several scrapbooks I felt that thinner layouts would be the better way to go for me. The past two days I've been working on editing. With the help of a new and some older Scrap Gals podcasts I got through a lot of pictures. I did so many and stayed up so late that I'm pretty sure I looked like the Mad Hatter once I collapsed into bed - wonky eye and all. So today I'll be working on placing my order. Will anyone be scrapping over the three day weekend? I wish I could but my weekend is scheduled and jam packed starting tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to start scrapping these pictures in June. I know Linda has had a great scrappy month. Anyone else? |

Depends on the page and story and my laziness.  I don't do the prima styled dimension on my layouts, unless it was going in a frame and not an album. I do like lots of embellishment and frequently that means layers and dimensional adhesive. But sometimes a few bling drops may be all a page gets. |

I recently bought some flair that had foam tape adhesive on the back - I tore it off before I used the flair on anything as I find flair is fat enough. I like to put a lot of layouts in my albums so the slightly flatter layouts work better for me. |

Pretty darn flat. I layer lots of paper and card stock but don't care for lumpy embellishments
