Scrapbooking Notes:
I used the map print paper as a background because it ties in with
the travel theme of the layout. The blue photo mounting paper I
used blends nicely with the map print as well as providing a nice
contrast with the photos so they stand out like they should. The
pieces of blue paper also make space available for journaling because
there is no solid space in the map print where the words you write
wouldn’t be interrupted by lines. I had two pre-cut blue triangles,
which I attached in opposite corners of the page. If you can’t
get pre-cut triangles you can cut them yourself to fit the corner
of the page. I overlapped one of the triangles with a photo I cropped
into a rectangle shape to remove all the unnecessary background.
I wanted to keep the view of the street but not the road with cars.
I kept this in mind when cropping the other two photos as well,
I wanted the view but not the street or parts of buildings that
were present in the photos. I overlapped the other triangle with
another rectangular photo to balance out the layout. The remaining
photo I cropped to fit in the middle, lining it up with the edges
of the other two photos. There is an equal amount of space between
the photos and an equal amount of space at the top and the bottom
of the page. I wanted the layout to be symmetrical so I used a ruler
to measure and ensure everything was even. I arranged the blue rectangles
beside the two photos at the top and the bottom for journaling and
to fill up some of the space beside the photos. The area of the
blue triangles showing around the photos could also be used for
journaling if desired. You would need to use a black pen for journaling
so it would show up on this paper because it is a bit dark.
