New Ideas for Scrapbooking

Ideas from a Creating Keepsakes class on how to jazz up those pages. Includes tips on takinggreat pictures.

A. Rule of Thirds

Whether you are taking a photograph or beginning a layout, look at it in thirds. Imagine that

there is a grid, with lines every three inches both horizontally and vertically (like a BINGO

board) When placing your subject try to place it at an intersecting point on the grid. Things aremore interesting when they are off center.

Fold the label.



Cut around the image so that when you finish you have a front and a back - connected by the

fold.



Peel off the back of the label and place it in front of you.



Put a paperclip on the bottom of one side of the image. Put a 3-D foam mount just under the rim

of the top of the paperclip.
