There are lots of things you can do to your scrapbooking pages. Here are a few of them.

1. Ink the edges – Use an ink pad and wipe it around the edges of scrapbooking paper, cardstock, photos, flowers, tags, ribbon. You can basically try this on anything you put on your scrapbooking page. I like to do this because it defines the edges of your page and adds visual depth and interest.

2. Sewing- Adding straight lines of stitching to you pages is easy. All you need is a sewing machine. If you don’t have a sewing machine you can always hand sew. This is a quick way to attach items such as ribbon and cardstock to your page. Sewing on your scrapbooking page gives your page extra visual interest

3. Enlargements- If you print your own photos then it is easy and cheap to enlarge them. There are heaps of free programs that you can use to crop and enlarge your photo to the size you want. Most photos I use on my scrapbooking pages have been digitally altered in some way or another. I love using big photos on my scrapbooking pages. They had drama and focus. Large photos are also good for quick layouts and pages.

4. Circle in the title- You do this by cutting or punch a circle out of a piece of paper or cardstock and put the circle where your title is going to go and put the title on top of it. This helps to draw the viewers eye to the title and then to the rest of the page.

5. Mat your photos- some people forget to mat there photos. This one thing can make your pages look so much better. If you are using patterned paper then matting is a must. To mat your photo you stick it onto a pre-cut piece of cardstock that is a tiny bit bigger that the photo. You can even try and experiment matting a photo with two pieces of cardstock. This just draws more attention to that photo.

There are lots of things that you can do to improve your pages. Those mentioned above are just a few of them.
