Grunge Style in the Scrapbooking:

“One could say without doubt that the alternative grunge is a scrapbooking, representing pages loaded, dark, almost black in color and emotions transmitted. The pictures on the pages of scrapbooking Grunge style are often black and white, dull. It can be found landscapes as alleys, backyard, fence, concrete, modern cities time! Photos of people usually represent emotions, pain (a child crying), anxiety, indifference, reflection, sadness, rebellion, on the other side of the coin or in other words, the Dark Side!

The material used to make a scrapbook page Grunge is usually free paper color shades or patterns of gray, black and white. He is torn, the dirty, piercing, ink, paint, scratches, the “distress”, etc..

In honor, metal embellishments, key, lock, chain, wire, metal brad, metal eyelet, etc.. Included are chipboards worn, blackened. The “magic mesh” can serve as a fence, or give the feeling of abandonment, breaking ..” – Herazz Boutique
