Dude! Get in Shape!

Dude! Your scrapbook needs to get in shape!

Sometimes a shape other than a rectangle can tell a lot about where you were. If it does, use it!

For example, the President is naturally associated with the stars and stripes. In this page, I used a star punch to shape the elements in invoke that association.



I used the star on the pix I took and the items from the brochures that I wanted to include. Keeping the family pic in a rectangle separated what was presidential and what was family.

Getting things to work in a particular shape can be quite a challenge. But it's nothing a real man can't conquer!

Dude! Shape up!

Dude! Keep it Clean!

Dude! You don't need to always cover every square inch of your page. Keep it clean!



Ft. McHenry is all about the flag since it's where the inspiration for the Star Spangled Banner withstood the bombs bursting in air. I made a page with a stripes. Keeping the red ones clean and putting the memories on the white stripes keeps it from looking like I defaced Old Glory.

Dude! Clean it up and keep America beautiful!
