Scrapbooking Hints and Tips

Go Large

Larger than life photos can really make your pages stand out from the crowd. In order to make a layout really pop out in your album and grab the attention of the viewer, what can be better than making the photograph the main focus of the page?

Creating scrapbook layouts is all about trying to show your photographs off to their best advantage, so if you are going to go large do it in style and use a photo that is about 10" x 12 ".

Using a large image on a page takes up a lot of the free space and most people would think that there really isn't very much else you could do with the layout. Not the case at all. You still have more than enough space to soften the edges of the photo by using curved paper cutouts , clever use of journalling and elements.

Remember though that a layout like this can quite easily look fussy, so don't over embellish it, keep it simple.
