The Trail of Scrapbook Paper
Today’s scrappers use lots and lots of paper. Many different kinds of paper become the countless pages of their scrapbook albums. All kinds of paper are used as design elements for layouts–cutting, crinkling, and crimping them as fast as the manufacturers can produce them.
When choosing paper, think about these four categories: color, size, thickness, and texture. Decide which colors best express what you want your pages to say and what paper sizes and thicknesses you need for the album that you plan to make. Be sure that the paper is acid-free, lignin-free, and buffered.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
