Scrapbook Embellishments – Highlighting your Focal Point Photo

September 23, 2009 · Filed Under Scrapbooking 

Your focal point photograph represents the main focus of the activity or event you’re scrapbooking about. In the birth of a baby girl, this would probably be the photo of a mother holding her daughter. While you can use mats and patterned papers to highlight your focal point photo, you can also use scrapbook embellishments to boost the beauty and essence of the photo.

Ribbon Weaving

Ribbon weaving is such a cool way to highlight your focal point photo because this presents the photo in a clear yet classy way. For this, you’ll need scrapbook embellishments such as a ribbon and a puncher. No, you won’t need needles or yarn or any type of pointy material. Punch holes through the sides of the photo and weave the ribbon in and out of the holes. If you don’t want to ruin the photo, wrap the photo’s sides in colored or patterned paper before you punch the holes.

Fake Stitches

It can take such a long time to stitch photos for a handicraft effect and not only that, not everyone is gifted with the sewing powers. To save yourself of the trouble of having to buy scrapbook embellishments like needles and a sewing kit, creating fake stitches only needs a clear, dark and thick pen of whatever color you wish the stitches to be. Instead of troubling yourself over stitching the photo in reality, cover the side of the photo with patterned paper and then draw clear, stitch patterns over it for the handicraft effect.

Your focal point photo contains the important reasons why you’re even scrapbooking about an event. Aside from the creativity your scrapbook bears, readers also like to see what you’re scrapbooking about and the only way to do this is to have your memorandums or souvenirs stand out among all the other decorations.
