How to Make a Scrapbook Page Background

Video Transcript

Hi, I’m Shelly Cordsen with expertvillage.com. We’re continuing our 6x6 scrapbook. Right now we’re going to work on the background page, we’re going to cut our background, which we only need to cut into quarters because its card stock and heavy. We will be working off both sides, so we’re getting two pages basically out of one. Now I’ll show you how to do that. Okay we’ve got our background page and we’re just going to cut it in quarters, which is going to give us four. So half of 12 is 6, you don’t learn anything, you’ll learn that math one today, okay we cut that one in half and there’s our four background pages. Actually you’ll watch in the magic and watch it turn into 8, this is where our repositional tape comes in handy, it’s just little dots and we’re going to temporarily adhere our accent pages. So we’re going to start as if this was our book and here is our front cover and you can almost do anything you want. Me, I like to take this piece and put in the center and then I think I want this little piece here and we’re going to, let’s put it over here and so I’m going to just temporarily put that and just say, oh I think that’s how I want it and I can do that, just turn it sideways. I’m going to run these little dots along here just to temporarily put that on there, now we’re going to open our book. Now we’re page 2, now these are kind of facing each other, so let’s pull these two right here and we can put them on the center this way, this way, look at the variety you can have, if you continue to make more and more pages. I think I’m going to put mine one over here and some of this might be determined where you want it based on the pictures you choose to put on here. Maybe I want to move mine here because I’m going to put a picture here that falls into there, we’ll see. Next page, let’s do our frame, I’m just going to stick this in the center, again you could put it anywhere you wanted to, I’m going to put our frame right there and turn our page again. Let’s see what we have left, we have our two corners here, let’s put them there, like I said I’m not being real precise because this is kind of temporarily until I get my pictures exactly where I want them. I got these two left, let’s turn this over to our last page, see the variety you can do, I’m going to stick this one here and how about this one over here and then we have this as our back page. Well if you’re doing the math, we only have eight, we need ten, here’s our final page and then we can turn it over and if we really wanted to we can decorate the very back and that will give us ten total pages.
