Resting Pages

Hello again! 
Today I have something that is different. It's not a new idea by any means but it is something different to try. My album has lots and lots of pictures in it, so I wanted something to rest on throughout the book. Admittedly these pages are at the front and back of my album, but there is one in my book that is a little different than these but serves the same purpose. I also wanted to come up with something that was interesting for the title pages as well. 
I bought these papers at a local art supply store before I left for my trip and I love them so much! 
Now the problem with that was that I didn't want to cover up any of the pictures on the papers. That posed a problem in scrapbooking over them. Then I remembered something that I had seen on YouTube somewhere and tried it. 

Front. 


This is super simple! All you have to do it cut up the paper into the right sizes for the pockets and slide the paper in. It's really that easy to do and you get this awesome look from it! Plus you get to see that amazing paper the way you bought it for.

Now this particular paper is for a zoo outing. All I did was cover up the part at the top that said zoo on it with a green piece of cardstock and put Zambia on it. I think it turned out pretty good!

On the back on this page (it's the last page in my album) it was pretty plain looking. I didn't mention anywhere in my book that this trip was sponsored by the Ottawa Presbytery for the United Church of Canada. So that's what I did here. I just took a small scrap of paper and wrote the two names on it and attached it to the middle of the page. 
Now  it is in my album and the paper doesn't look so plain!
