Hi ,

Needing just a little nudge to push your most current scrapbook page over to the ‘done’ side of life?

Here are 3 super secret finishing tips for scrapbook pages that I apply on a regular basis. All my tips were easy to illustrate just by strolling through Nann Dalton’s gallery. Apparently she knows my super secret tips too! And now, so do you.

Tip One: A Paragraph of Journaling

In my opinion, a heartfelt paragraph of journaling always finishes a scrapbook page. Always. No English degree or witty sense of humor needed. Just be yourself. Babble if necessary. I give you permission. Here’s a beautiful example.

Tip Two: A Simple Stroke Outline

Putting a simple 5-8 pixels stroke outline somewhere on your scrapbook page will give it a finished look without screaming, “LOOK AT ME.” Three placement ideas/examples:

bordering near the outside edge of a page
anchoring a group of photos and elements
framing inside a photo

Tip Three: A Pretty Vellum Strip

Vellum is a secret weapon to the savvy scrapbooker. It adds a classy touch and a soft accent to a scrapbook page without stealing the show. The perfect example of this can be seen in this week’s FREE Digi Scrap Tutorial by Nann. Check it out below.

Now, go get those pages finished up. It’s almost time to start a whole new batch for 2016!
