Hi everybody!

I'm a new member, so maybe this has been discussed before, but I need help with scrapbooking paper. I'm new at scrapbooking too, and I purchased some beautiful 12 x 12 scrapbooking paper with large color photos on it. Prior to this I've only used paper with a small all-over print. Where/how do you place photos on the paper that has these huge photos!!!

Maybe this is a silly question, but the paper is so pretty it seems a shame to cover any part of the photo!!

Thanks!

When I use pretty paper like that I tend to use fewer pictures but I mat the pics on a matching solid color. The border is about 1/4 inch around the picture. The patterned paper is also good for cards, or to cut and place on solid paper for your scrapbooking. Hope this helps.

how sweet it is to love some one, how right itis to care

Thanks Carol !

Any suggestions are a big help. I never gave photo placement a thought when I bought the paper with big photos on it!!

I'll give the matting a try.
