Patterned Paper for Scrapbook Page Layouts

When deciding on a scrapbook page layout, there are rules to remember when using patterned paper. Never use a background paper with a pattern larger than the smallest photographed head. Use a plain paper in a similar tone for your journal block. Don´t be concerned if you can´t find the right photos to use with the lovely patterned paper you purchased, as patterned paper is generally more tricky to match than plain paper.
