Scrapbook My Life

Can’t find the perfect background paper for your scrapbook layout? Try one of these fun ideas:

• Use rubber stamps and Versamark ink to create a custom watermarked background for your layout.
• Paint your own background on cardstock using chalks, watercolors, acrylic paint, or walnut ink. Use it to simply alter the look of existing cardstock or patterned paper or be unique and paint your own abstract design!
• Create a simple geometric background by layering circles or squares of different sizes and colors over your cardstock.
• Scan or color copy a piece of pretty piece of fabric and print your own custom patterned paper.
• Repeat simple journaling such as names and dates across cardstock for a unique and meaningful text background. Experiment with different fonts and ink colors for a variety of looks.
• Love the look of texture in your background cardstock? Create a grid by folding your paper and letting the creases add texture & dimension to your layout. Press down on the new creases for definition and add chalk or ink to enhance out the look.
• Cover your page in photos cropped with a small square punch to create a unique title page for your album.
