How To Choose Scrapbook Papers

Hi! I'm Susie Jefferson and I'm glad to have been invited by Kay and Graham of Blade Rubber Stamps t come and talk to you today all about what I know about scrapbooking. You can buy paper individually in sheets. Go to your scrapbook store maybe take your photos with you so you can sort of have a look.

Is it going to go is the color right, etc. or you can buy pads of paper. Here's one for example, always you'll see on the front or possibly on the back, not on this one but it will show you a sample of every paper that's in the book and then you just rip out what you want.

So that's the sort of thing that you can get. You usually repeat at least 2 or maybe four pages of each to sign so that you can have a pair of pages matching up as a spread or possibly for mounting a layering or maybe even just because you made a mistake and can you find the same sheet again, so these are pretty useful to have. There's a gorgeous glittered one, Parisian.

There's that lovely piece of dress pattern, both of these have glitter on. If she's not glitterally inclined, what about this one that's just nice, vintage, lovely colors. A little of pink, a little bit of brown, whatever you want to put with this going to go or perhaps you rather have something patterned.

Perhaps she's a little bit into hippy chic, these will cut up into borders so you can use them as borders, use them as frames, whatever you want, little journaling blocks or even something like that which is really, really jazzy. So again the emphasis is on the paper, on big picture and you're good to go. Now we're going to look at a wedding album, I think the easiest way to actually deal with something like this is to go for something where you have all these papers in a kit, so that you know that they are going to match in color and in style and you can just whip through and pick out your favorite.

I mean, I would definitely go for one of these blues, maybe not that one so much, that one definitely I'd go for that and so forth. That one would be a good one too. That one would definitely be my favorite.
