I chose a gaming magazine to go with the basketball pictures. Then choose paper that will go with colors and scheme. I chose paper in my supply box, with stars on the edges. I placed both pages down then placed pictures and clippings from magazine around to see what looked best to me. In looking at the pages, I could see the pictures needed a background paper to bring out the pictures. I glued them in place and trimmed the edges of the background paper. I choose a red paper due to school colors. I placed three tiles in each corner for a breakup of color. In keeping with a magazine theme, I wrote an article about a basketball game. Using 2, 12x12 pages with Stars on the edges. I attached 3 tiles to each corner using clear adhesive dots (small) Zots. Using a glue stick & using cutouts from Electronic Gaming Magazine (Basketball theme) I glued a game rating on the bottom, left corner of page one. I glued a cutout of Shaq hanging off of a basketball hoop, right side of page one. I glued a picture of kid's basketball game, right, top side of page one. I glued an article written about a basketball game, left side of page one. I glued 4 small pictures of computer games. One picture on top left corner of page two. One picture on bottom left corner of page two. Two pictures in middle of page two. I glued 4 pictures of kid's basketball game. Two game pictures are on left, center of page two.

Supplies Needed:
I assembled the top first, adhere the 6x12 sheet of paper to the background paper. Attach larger picture to that matt...the photo will be double matted. Use the stich rub-ons to create the look that the picture is being held on there with stiching. Adhere the two journal boxes to the bottom left of the paper, leaving approx. 1 inch from the left side. Adhere the smaller picture on the bottom right leaving approx 1 inch from the bottom, but lined up with the right hand side of the paper. Finally, attach the title in the middle. I also added small stars which I drew with a small tip black marker, just to add a little more to the page. |
