Happy New Year to everyone and thanks for joining me for another year of National Park Scrapbook page posts!
The last layout in the series highlights the smaller trains on display this weekend. In one building the local model railroad groups created a large display. Outside, someone brought their personal-sized yard train and in another building, there were Lego train sets. These were of particular importance to my dad and nephews.
This layout is based on one of Noreen Smith's 1-2-3 layouts (July 2017). You can still see the video here. I used a pack of CM paper called "Essentials" which had a foiled dot pattern and some bright colors. They don't say Lego on the pack but you can tell that's what they were thinking when they made the papers. I used 2 different shades of cardstock. I liked the blue but since one set of triangles was the exact same shade, I chose to move those to the right side of the layout and use a green cardstock base. Normally you would flip over and use the back side to decrease the "matchy" problem. But the back was large strips of white and yellow and wouldn't mix too well. I think this turned out fine in the end though.
how do you matte pictures?
ReplyDeleteWhen I use mats, I either make the mat 1/2" larger than the photo (for example in a 4x6 photo I use a 4 1/2 x 6 1/2" mat). Or I cut the mat to 4x6 and trim my photo a bit along the edges so that it is smaller. There are some photo printing agencies that will automatically print a white frame around your photos too, though I like being able to use different mat colors to match my layout.
