New Ideas for Scrapbooking
by Shellie Suave ([email protected])
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.
