Digital Scrapbook Page Ideas

Soccer Friends

Create this fun soccer scrapbook page! The Cliptures clipart is imported in to a page layout program, positioned and then scaled to size. A background color is added to the page. The scrapbook page is printed, trimmed, and attached to a background sheet of paper. Text can be added directly in the layout, or, by hand after the page is printed. Frames and photos are added to the page.

Materials:

-Cliptures: Clipart from Cliptures #25 Sports 2

- Paper: White for printing layout, blue for background sheet, and green for photograph frames.

- Decorative edge scissors or circle cutter for cutting photo frames.

- Straight edge ruler, craft knife, and cutting mat for trimming edges from printed layout.

- Acid free scrapbooking glue or adhesive.

Directions:
1. Start a new document in your layout program. Change the background color of the layout to a light blue. (If your program won't let you change the background color of the page, see Adding a Background Color.)

2. Import the girl bouncing the ball off her head and scale the image to about 3" tall. Position it in the upper left part of the page.

3. Import the girl kicking the ball and scale the image to about 2 1/4" tall. Position it in the lower left part of the page.

4. If you like, you can add text to the layout using the Adding Text technique.

5. Print the layout on white paper.

6. Trim the non-printed edges (1/2") from all 4 sides of the sheet.

7. Center and attach the trimmed sheet onto the background paper with scrapbook adhesive.

8. Cut frames for your photos.

9. Attach the frames and photos to the layout.

That's it!
