Thanksgiving Scrapbooking Ideas
Cornucopia 2
This scrapbook page uses 2 sheets of layered paper for the background. The Cliptures clipart is imported into a layout program, scaled to size, and printed on white paper. The image is trimmed and, along with the photos, attached to the background sheets. This design is also a nice compliment to the Cornucopia 1 scrapbook page design.

Supplies:
- Cliptures: Cornucopia clipart from Cliptures #7 Fun Accents 1
- Paper: White for printing image, brown or orange for background sheet and a light yellow for the inner background sheet.
- Acid free scrapbooking glue or adhesive.
- Scissors, or, craft knife and cutting mat for cutting out the image.
- Paper cutter or straight edge ruler for trimming inner layout sheet.
- Decorative edge scrapbook scissors for cutting the photo frames.
Directions:
1. Start a new document in your layout program. Make the document wide instead of tall so that you can scale the cornucopia to a larger size.
2. Import the cornucopia from Vol. 7 into your document and scale it to 8" wide.
Tip! At 8" wide you should be able to fit 2 cornucopias on a single layout page. Flip the second one side to side in you layout program and you can create 2 facing pages with the same design!
3. Print the layout on white paper.
4. Using a craft knife and cutting mat, or scissors, trim the image(s) leaving an even amount of white space all the way around the image. (This is much easier than trying to trim right up to the edges and it creates a nice design too!)
5. Cut the inner background sheet of paper to 7 1/2" by 10", center, and attach to the border background sheet.
6. Cut frames for photos with decorative edge scissors.
7. Arrange and attach all of the elements to the background sheets with scrapbook adhesive.
That's it!
