Stickers are an easy way to punch up your school-themed pages. Here, designer Joanne Clark shares her technique for creating a School Years album page. Materials School-themed stickers, borders and corners
12" x 12" white album page
Red mat paper
Blue mat paper
Copied photos
Photo-safe glue
Scissors
Pencil
Ruler
Journaling pen or computer print-out of journaling
- First, surround entire page perimeter with sticker border, adhering 1/4" from the page (figure A). If necessary, measure and lightly pencil a guideline for easy placement. Remember to compensate for design elements that extend beyond the sticker's edge.
- Next, add a photo corner (figure B) to the corner of each sticker border (this technique is a great way to hide less than perfect corners -- especially for croppers who haven't yet mastered mitered corners).
- Enlarge or reduce photos on photocopier, then double-mat. Mat a larger photo on red mat paper, then blue. Add photo corners (figure C).
- Then, mat a smaller photo, reversing the mat colors. Add stickers as photo corners.
Joanne's Tip: Cut stickers and backing from the sticker sheet. Leave backing on while determining placement of sticker on the page. - To add dimension layer transparent stickers (figure D).
- To finish page, add title and journaling.
