It is certainly a challenge to keep my scrapbooks updated, but I'm determined! With my middle child, Dorian, starting Pre-K this year, I've made myself a promise that I would try to "pre-scrap" big events (like his first day of Pre-K). Now when I take those precious photos, I have a place to put them. In the digital age, it is so easy to leave them on my computer, but I do prefer having something to hold.
A few tips and tricks
1. To create a photo mat, cut the mat 1/2 inch larger than the photo. This gives a 1/4 inch border around the photo. To create a double mat, cut the second mat 1 inch larger than the photo. This method works nicely to create a 5 x 7 space for a 4 x 6 photo.
2. Keep it simple. When cutting your photo mats, use a stampin' write marker to indicate the size photograph that can be placed on the mat. This allows you to create layouts with different size photos without having to remember or re-measure the space when you are ready to mount your photos.
