How to Make a 3-Picture Scrapbook Layout

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Michelle Wright. I'm a Creative Memories consultant. I've been one for 17 years and my passion is helping people to tell their stores. One fast and easy way to do that is by doing a simple three picture layout on the page. We start with a blank page. Pick out a background paper that we like. And I'm going to, I have two sides I can choose from and for this particular set of pictures I'm going to use this side so I'm going to put the tape runner on the back. It just takes a little bit in each of the four corners. After it's been taped with tape runner we're going to put it right on the page. And then for the layout we have three pictures. We have two horizontal and a vertical. And what I'm going to do is choose a background color that's similar with the green. And on this side we're going to put a vertical. And on this side we'll put two horizontal pictures. This is actually a story card from our story box. But because it's so versatile it is also exactly the side that you can use to matte a picture. So if you wanted to do just two and then some journaling down here you could use it for either one. So for this I'm going to go ahead and just use my tape runner. Put it down . This one's ready to go, we'll just leave it there. And I'm going to use the backs here with the green background. Use the tape runner again. It's just a matter of pressing down and pulling back. Makes scrapbooking very easy and fun. And also if you have a picture like this one that's been damaged the tape runner you can put it right over where the damaged area is and it'll give it some extra protection when it's in the book to keep it flat. I'll center it there. Push down. Even helps to work out the crease in the picture. Then we just need to again put the tape runner on the back. And we'll go ahead and put the two vertical pictures on. I'm sorry these are horizontal. Then the placement of the vertical picture will depend if you want to also include a journaling box. You could put this at the top or bottom it just completely depends on how you want to have the final look. So this one I'm going to go ahead and put here. I'm actually going to move these over just a little bit. I didn't press these down real hard when I laid them down so they're movable for a little while after you put them down. Okay. And I am going to include a journaling box so I'm going to put my journaling box up here so that you can tell the story. And have fun."
