First Day of School Scrapbook Pages

Design by Lisa Dorsey

Lisa created a collage scrapbook page with blocks of patterned paper and included a round journaling block to break up the angles. Alphabet embellishments enhance her back-to-school theme.

Editor's Tip: Create a mask from stickers. Lisa laid letter stickers over white patterned paper, then covered it all with a coat of acrylic paint and let it dry. She removed the stickers and outlined the shapes of each letter with a fine-tip marker. Extra stickers frame her photo.
