| Scrapbooking Notes:
To help the photos stand out against the white of the scrapbook
page I backed them with squares of yellow photo mounting paper that
is just slightly bigger than the photo. The yellow isn’t too
bright so it doesn’t overpower the photo. The two photos of
the sugar shack are lined up and arranged in the same manner on
the yellow backgrounds. This is so you can see the two different
views of the building side by side. Below these two photos is another
photo taken at the same time of my uncle Bryan participating in
the sugaring process. This photo is also backed with the yellow
photo mounting paper but this time I have centered it on the square
to make it stand out against the white background but also to make
it differ from the other two photos. I wrote the heading for this
layout at the bottom of the page because it seemed to make more
sense there instead of competing for attention with the two photos
at the top. I wanted both to be equally noticed because they are
equally important. To finish off this layout, which requires little
embellishment because you don’t want to take the focus off
the photos, I added some winter themed stickers that seemed to suit
the theme of the layout. They fill in the empty space on either
side of the photo quite nicely without being too much. I used a
brown colored pen because it was the closest to the color of maple
syrup and I thought it tied in with the theme of the layout very
well.
