The Next Scrapbooking Video - Page Design 2

Ok, this is another scrapbooking ideas video from the mini-course - but I'll save some videos for the course only, and you'll have to sign up to watch them.

This one, to me, gives the most important tip of all concerning the design and layout of scrapbook pages. I've seen so many that look 'ho hum' after many hours of work - but if these tips had been followed, the impact would have been just perfect.

Please let me know if you try these tips and think it makes a difference.

Please come back to this blog soon.

New Scrapbooking Video - Page Design

I'm just starting to write a mini-course on scrapbooking ideas. It will be free, and available when I've got my website up and running. So far I've made 3 videos to show how I design pages in scrapbook albums, and also to pass on important tips that I've learned over the years.

Here's the video from the first 'lesson' showing how I'm going to construct an album, have the pages opening nicely, allow for it getting thicker and decide on margins.

Unlike many people (or at least, people who haven't had the concept explained to them) I believe that margins are important.

Normal printed books have margins around the text for a good reason. It makes your eyes focus on what's important, gives the subject matter more impact and it's easier on the eyes.

Of course, there are occasions when we can choose to break the rules, but it's good to know what works best for most of the time.

Anyway, here's the video.

I hope you'll return to this blog and also sign up for the free mini-course. I'll let you know when it's available.
