Scrapbooking Steps used for album making

Learn to Crop, Mat, Arrange, Mount, Journal & Enhance your photos

Crop
When cropping your picture remember you are taking away backgrounds that don't add anything to your picture. Leaving points of interest in your photos help tell about Where, When, Who, What. You can keep the picture square or crop your photo into different shapes.

Mat
Matting your pictures with acid-free lignin-free paper. Matting is done by placing photo safe paper behind your picture to enhance the photo or objects in the picture.

Arrange
Arranging your photos on a scrapbook page is called a page layout. Two ways of doing a page layout would be to keep your best photo in the centre and place the others around or arranging your pictures in a pattern of a letter "C" or "Z".

Mount
Mounting is the process of sticking the photos and matted photos or embellishments onto your scrapbook page with photo safe adhesives.

Journal
Journaling is the most difficult and important part of your scrapbook. Journaling tells the story about the photo by giving a short description about the event, holiday, or picture.

Enhance
Enhancing is adding stickers, die cuts, punch outs, and other little odds and ends that relate to the photo, like a wedding invitation or a dance card
