What you do it cut out a piece and fold the edges back so it looks matted, but it's just the other side of the paper.

You can then use those pieces on the other page of a two page layout. (Does this make sense? You cut away to part of the paper that would be hidden under the journal box and photos.) This makes your paper last longer and you get a two page spread out of one sheet. Hope this helps! :) In addition to the above suggestions, you can also cut away the portion that your journal box and photos cover.

Embossing powder may contain dyes or chemicals that are not safe for your photo. If you have to emboss, mate the picture first on card stock and emboss the card stock I would not recommend embossing photo’s.

You'll see one pattern and when you turn the page, that page will be on the reverse of the paper. Another idea is to make Journaling Matchbook to hold things.

We flipped the middle around and she sewed the seams with a zigzag stitch. It turned out beautiful. On another one we blocked out about 8-9 sections on a plain piece of cardstock,then cut different size squares and rectangles out of dbl sided paper scraps to fit our template. Again it turned out very cool. My partner and I just did a page where we cut a paper in 3 sections. We flipped the middle around and she sewed the seams with a zigzag stitch. It turned out beautiful.
