Scrapbook paper

Different types of paper can make a dramatic difference in the appearance of your scrapbook.  Most often, paper is used as a background for mounting photos within the scrapbook binder. As mentioned before, having a contrasting color of paper behind the photo can bring out the image of the photo. You can also use paper for a frame with an opening for the photo to show through. Another use of paper is to fold it in 3-D shapes and make it an embellishment. If you fold a small brightly colored piece of construction paper like an accordian, you can add it as an embellishment that helps bring out the memory or journal story that is presented.
