Scrapbook Pages: Photo Cropper

I think that this idea from Paper Fections on getting multiple photos all the same size to fit on your scrapbook page is a super one. Very often the simple scrapbooking ideas are the best!


Photo Cropper




Ever have a problem getting multiple photos all the same size for scrapbook page? Or if you've ever cut off too much of someone's head and ruined your whole photo, this tool is for you! I found this easy way to size photos . . . just take an 8" x 8" square of cardstock and cut 1" in from each side, so that you cut a 6" square out of the middle.
Then cut it in half diagonally so you have two separate triangles. Next, take a ruler and mark 1/2" and 1" increments up to 5", starting at the corner and working your way outward.




To size a photo, just overlap the two pieces to form a square or rectangle the size you'd like. Now you'll be able to position the correct size just where you want it, and never chop off a head again . . . Enjoy!
