Baby Scrapbooking Page Idea

Baby Storks

Want to make a scrapbook page in under 10 minutes? You can! This layout uses a Cliptures ready-made scrapbooking page. These directions are for using the page with traditional photos.

Materials:

- Cliptures: Ready-Made page from Cliptures Vol 41 Babies!

- Paper: White for printing page.

- Scrapbooking glue or adhesive.

- Photo corners for attaching photos from the back side of the page.

- Craft knife and cutting mat for cutting out the photo openings.

Directions:
1. Start a new document in your layout program.

2. Import the ready-made page from Vol. 41 into your document. If needed, scale the border to 7 1/2" wide by 10" tall. (This will leave a 1/2" unprinted edge around the page when it is printed.) If the image doesn't quite fit your entire layout, see Distorting Clipart.

3. Text can be added in the upper left and bottom center areas if you like.

4. Print the layout on white paper.

5. Using a craft knife and cutting mat, cut out the openings for the 2 photos.

6. Photos are positioned, trimmed if needed, and attached from the back of page with photo corners.

About Cliptures Ready-Made Scrapbook Pages

The "ready made" scrapbook pages included in some of the Cliptures scrapbooking volumes are a great way to jump start your scrapbooks! Each professionally designed page includes images and places for your photos already laid out and ready to go!

They're as simple to use as importing one of the pages into your layout program, adding text, and printing it out! You can print the pages and use them just as they are, or, trim the edges and add your own decorative borders and backgrounds!

The ready made pages are also designed with easy cut out openings for your photos. They also give you the advantage of being able to attach your photos from the backs of the pages with much less photo trimming!

But that's not all! They also feature transparent photo areas! With digital camera or scanned photos and the right software, you can create entire scrapbook pages, including your photos, right on the computer!
