Sometimes you have a picture that you need to “tweak” in order to enable it to become a focal point on a scrapbook layout.\n<\/p>\n

\nFor instance, maybe you have a picture that has some “dead space”, like an un-interesting background. You can use stickers, or embellishments or, my favorite, rubber stamps directly on the photo to create a border and give the background a little more pizazz, like so:\n<\/p>\n

\"Floral<\/a><\/div>\n

If you have a smallish picture, that you would like to include on your page, but it needs a bit more prominence, you can achieve this by using a larger frame. If there is a large amount of space surrounding your photo, then try stamping the mat. This can add size and weight to your picture, and create a real focal point. Here are two examples of stamped frames:\n<\/p>\n

The first uses a delicate floral border:\n<\/p>\n

\"Wrought<\/a><\/div>\n

The second adds even more weight by using a larger stamp. When stamped in black, these Woodcut Scroll rubber stamps gives the illusion of Wrought Iron:\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

So before you discard a picture because it has a background that is plain, or because it is too small to stand out, try some of the ideas outlined here. Enjoy!\n<\/p>\n
