Camping Page From "Scrapbooking" episode SCB-262

Easily create an organized look on outdoors pages with ... ... a frame system. By creating, embellishing and adhering these frames to the page, Siebers is able to quickly identify and place photos and die-cuts in a square of corresponding size. When working with vellum, it can be difficult to hide the adhesive used. Here, Siebers positions her adhesive on the top and bottom of the vellum, where the lantern top and base will hide it. Don't be afraid to alter your die-cut and embellishments to achieve a look of authenticity. Here, Siebers cuts a slot, then folds back the "flaps" of the tent used on her page.

Paula Siebers shares embellishment ideas that are perfect for camping pages.
