 Springtime in England by Julie McGuffee
There are so many cool tools to use for scrapbooking, but the Paper Trimmer is one I cannot scrapbook without!
Materials Needed
  Fiskars Paper Trimmer
  Fiskars Tiny Hole Hand Punch
  Xyron Re-positionable Adhesive Cartridge
  Epson Premium Gloss Photo paper – 8 1/2” x 14”
  12” x 12” Background Paper – Dark Green
  Yellow Cardstock to mat photos
  Vellum
  Small Brass Brads
 
Remember to choose colors of paper and embellishments that compliment your photographs. Colors chosen here reflect the colors in my photographs, but may not be the best colors to choose for yours.
Instructions
  1. Apply adhesive to the photograph. Glue to yellow cardstock then use the paper trimmer to trim the cardstock around the photograph leaving a narrow border. Apply adhesive to the matted photographs.
  2. Choose a photograph with an all over theme then print onto an 8.5” x 14” sheet of photo paper. Use the paper trimmer to cut a piece 12” long and 2” wide from the photo. This will be used to mat the vellum title.
  3. Using a computer, print the title and any journaling you require onto the vellum. The title piece should be about 1.5” wide and 11” long. The size of your journaling block should be custom cut to fit in the space available on your background paper. See photo of my project for layout idea.
  4. Center the title on the photo then use the hand punch to make a small hole in the corner of the vellum and the background. Push a brad into each of the corner holes to hold in place. Apply adhesive to the back.
  5. Cut a mat from yellow cardstock for your journaling block. The mat should be about 1/2” wider and longer than the piece of vellum. Secure the vellum to the center of the yellow cardstock with a small brad. Apply adhesive to the back.
  6. Referring to the project photo as a guide, arrange your photos, title and journaling block on the background paper. The repositionable adhesive will allow you to move these around, but will become permanent.
