I haven't done that in YEARS... and it looks so good.... and since my ever growing stack of papers.. I don't feel like I am wasting but helping use up a .0000001 of my stash. lol

I remember doing that! Like you said, it might make a small dent in your stash. I should probably start, too.

I used to do that, too! Only I'd cut out the center of the mat so I wasn't wasting all of that "hidden" paper. (Now I just do that if I'm running out of a certain paper that I can no longer purchase.)

I love matted photos. I love double mattes and a triple is all the better! You go girl!

I like a matted picture. In my laziness, I usually choose the white border option when I order photos!  |

Matted pictures look so good! I used to double and triple mat all the time but then I got super lazy, maybe I'll try a big mat on the next layout I make.  |

I have never triple matted before. I may have to try it just to see what it looks like.

Honestly a lot of the layering look that is done now is just triple matting papers messily! I love the look of matted pics.

I think I have every tool designed to help you create even mats. It's been so long since I've used them I forgot what they're called. There were these rulers with the lip and cutting tool. There was also those round metal things with the hole in the center. Perfect Layers maybe? I remember having so much fun with those things. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting a few more.
Glad you're using up your stash!

Yes!
I used to rock those triple mats. Especially the thinner, thicker, thinner matting.
I might have to bring that back for a page soon!
And hooray for using up paper!

Glad it looks great and eats up some stash! Ha! That's exactly what I said when I read the title! I love matted photos and almost never have a layout without at least one matted photo. I don't think I've double or triple matted photos in years... I'm going to start again. I loved that look! |

Glad you're using up your stash! I also have the Perfect Layer stuff.... 'never got the hang of it. It just seemed so difficult to me for some reason. I'm satisfied with using my good ol' Fiskars trimmer. |

I always struggle with trying to recreate some of the messy/fun looks. I honestly never realized that I should look at it as matting, just "messily" (love that word). Game changer. |

I used to do that, especially to highlight a focal photo. It looks so good!
