Cropping for Scrapbooks (Scrapbooking series)

Sarah McKenna shows how to crop photographs and create beautifully designed pages in this innovative step-by-step guide. Photographs can be cropped in many different ways, and the card or paper that surrounds them can be cropped to enhance single or multiple images. Mounting - gluing a photograph to a background and cutting round it to make a border - creates a focal point for a picture; atmosphere and mood can be evoked with colours and textures. Many cropping techniques can be used to highlight certain elements, or pages embellished with frames and visual effects. This book, with its easy-to-follow instructions, explores all these techniques and more, including slicing, using tags, silhouetting, lettering, decorative punching, montage and mosaics. A rich source of ideas for all scrapbookers, whatever their level of expertise.
