Scrapbooking Ideas

Cornucopia 1

Here's an easy scrapbook page to make! This design uses a full page border from Cliptures clipart Volume 6 - Fun Borders 1. The border is imported into a page layout program and printed. The unprinted edges are trimmed from the page and the trimmed page is attached to a colored background sheet. Frames are cut for the photos and both the frames and photos are attached to the page.

Supplies:

- Cliptures: Borders clipart from Cliptures #6 Fun Borders 1

- Paper: White for printing layout, and brown or orange for background sheet.

- Acid free scrapbooking glue adhesive.

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

- Decorative pattern scrapbooking scissors for cutting photo frames.

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

2. Import the border from Vol. 6 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 border when it is printed.)

3. Print the layout on white paper.

4. Using a straight edge ruler, craft knife and cutting mat, trim the unprinted edge from the printed border page.

5. Center and attach the trimmed page to the colored background paper.

6. Cut frames for photos with decorative edge scissors.

7. Attach frames and photos to layout with scrapbook adhesive.

That's it!
