Pads Scrapbook

	DCWV Luxury 4-1/2 Inch by 6-1/2 Inch Mat Stack, 60 Sheets/Pad List Price: $8.99 Sale Price: $5.07
	Add a touch of elegance to your project with Luxury papers. Each stack is full of metallic prints on pearlized papers perfect for wedding dance or special occasion themes. Includes 60 sheets per pad.

Cut some photo mattes just a little larger than your photos or you can get 6 out of a 12 x 12 solid paper and trim your 4 x 6 photos 1/4 inch on 2 sides so they will fit with 1/8 border.

If you like the design and want to preserve it, just put one or two photo mattes on the patterned paper in the areas where the pattern may be less intense. Or, match some solid paper to your patterned paper and maybe cut the patterned paper to use pieces of it on the plain paper. Maybe cut the corners of the patterned paper to place on the solid paper as an accent and matte your photos on the solid or plain.

I have some examples of doing this on layouts I have done without photos that may give you some ideas. Sometimes I love a printed paper, but it's too busy for putting photos on directly, so I use only parts of it.

I very seldom mix patterns on a layout, only if they are very subtle and subdued and only in small amounts. I do like to mix solids with the patterns and I think it actually stretches out that patterned paper into more layouts.

Check out these links from my website. I hope they will give you some ideas.

This link has some layouts which use very bold patterned papers and photo mattes. http://www.scrapbook-advice.com/Scrapbook-Layouts.html

Here are some Christmas Layouts - most of which use patterened paper.

And here is a page that will show you how to get the most from your paper or card stock when you want to cut mattes. There are some diagrams for you.
