A PAGE WITH CORINNE

For your convenience and if you are a beginner the use of a template is recommended, that enables you to have a good lay out.

To begin, draw, cut and stick circles of different sizes in the 4 papers alternating plain and printed paper.

Then cut out small rectangles in the 2 printed papers that will go to the right at the bottom of the photo.

Place your all the cuts and photo on your blank page.

Then, trace now the different stars on the 4 papers and place them on your page (pictures 4 and 5).

Usually I put an odd numbers of embellishments for the good balance of the page

To give some depth to your papers and your picture you must to ink the edges of your elements (circles, stars, photo).

To add volume to your page, you can crumple and tear the inked edges, it is not an obligation, depending on the style you want to give.

I stamped one of the stars and circles with a write buffer to decorate a little the plain papers and I wrote the outline with a fine black felt.

Once you've torn and inked the elements you can start sticking them on your white background.

To keep the print size you put glue at the center of your elements and slightly point their edges (photo11).

You can use your printer and A4 card stock sheet (cross grided or not) to write the title and the journaling,.

For this page, I chose to use cross ruled paper.

Print your text on your worksheet with the font of your choice by staying in the page style. Here the font Stereofidélic was used. Don't hesitate to magnify the letters

Then cut out the letters one by one (to give style print) and ink their edges.

It's a bit long but it will bring out your text on the white paper.

Then glue the letters side by side but not too regularly. I added foam green stickers for a part of my title (YEUX). .

To complete your page, ink generously the edges ofyour white background and draw a line with the black felt all around the page.

If you use a template, you can quickly start your page, but obviously you can interpret it as you want.

I put stars instead of flowers and I've adapted my journaling down.

With the same template you can do multiple differents pages, depending on the style you like.

I hope this step by step will help you get started scrapbooking.
