Designer Becky Eldenburg creates pages celebrating the great outdoors by first looking at the background scenery in her photos. Here, Eldenburg shares a technique for building horizons with DIY Scrapbooking host Sandi Genovese. - After looking at the background elements in the photograph, select the shades of cardstock you'll be working with.
- Begin working at the bottom of the page. Tear the cardstock into strips and layer as desired to build "strata." Adhere to page with acid-free glue.
- Continue "stacking" the torn strips (figure A) until you have achieved the look you want.
- Mat photo on one of the same shades of cardstock used for the horizon. Tear the edges of the mat (figure B), then adhere matted photo to a second shade of cardstock. Tear the edges of the second mat and adhere to page.
- Use same technique to mat and mount additional photos, then add sticker embellishments and a title to complement the overall look and theme of the page.
