Creating Elegant Pages with Folded Photo Corners

Click here for step by step instructions for folding the photo corners. 

Background Cardstock: Sunflower Yellow from Club Scrap
Middle Layer Cardstock: Hunter Green source unknown
Printed Paper: Paper Pizazz Gold Hand Painted Papers from Hot Off the Press, 2 8.5"x11" pages of Blue Marble with Daisies
Vellum: Paper Pizazz Butterfly Metallic on Vellum from Hot Off the Press
Title Printed with The Best of Creative Lettering Combo from Creating Keepsakes using CK Cursive and CK Trellis.

This page is a good example of using 8.5"x11" printed paper for a 12"x12" page layout. To begin, trim the first page of blue marble floral painted paper and mount on green cardstock. Use the second sheet of matching printed paper to cut out embellishments to add to the page. Cut around the flowers, separating them into groupings. Trim a section of the page to use as a journaling box adhering flowers to the top and bottom of the box. More of the cut flowers are added to the right edge of the first paper to balance the page.

Carefully cut the metallic printed edge from the vellum page. Cut out as many of the gold butterflies and dragonflies as you would like to decorate your page. In the sample, the lovely golden insects have been added to the journal box, along the floral borders of the page, and a couple were mounted directly onto the photo corners. Print the title and journaling on the remainder of the vellum that you have left after you remove the metallic border, being sure to set your page size to match the new size of the vellum sheet. Use any extra vellum, after you have cut out your title and journaling, to cut 4 2" squares to fold into photo corners. After folding, embellish the corners by tracing the lines with a gold gel pen.

Photo Transfer Step By Step

Transferring your scrapbook pages or family photos onto ceramic, stone, or marble tiles allows you to create gorgeous home decor or precious gifts. To begin, you will need to select your photos and have them digitally color copied onto special transfer paper found in any of the Tilano Fresco Transfer Kits or the Marble Coaster Kit. Ink jet prints will NOT work with this process. The transfer paper is certified safe for color copiers and the kit comes with a certificate that you may need to show at your local copy center. Here you can see the pictures that I chose and also the copy that I had made. You can also use copies of scrapbook pages or digitally editted photos so that you can add text. Be sure to ask the copy center to reverse the image on your copy so that you text or scrapbook page will end up facing the correct way when you make the tranfer. Click next below to move onto the next step of this project.

Be sure to check out more transfer projects in the Scrapbook Page and Photo Transfer Gallery. Jennifer Schmidt transferred a wedding photo onto a beautiful gold charger plate.
