MAPPING OUT YOUR SCRAPPING

by Adrienne Lubbe

> Find an old atlas and colour copy the relevant

map for your page.

> Using a thick pen, draw in the route you followed.

> More details can be added in the form of rub-ons.

> Brads can also be used on destination spots.

> Collect maps from the area in which you travel.

> Use photos to "illustrate" the map.

> Ink the edges of the map.

> Maps make a great opening page for a travel album.

> Cut around the sea side of the map with a pair of

deckle-edge scissors so that you still get to read

the names of towns printed 'in the sea'

> Point out your destination with an arrow.

> In this case the map was too bright, so I covered it with vellum.

> To highlight your destination, cut a hole in the vellum and place

a slide fame around it.

> Print small numbers, punch them out and place

them in the relevant spot on the map.

> Add the same numbers to corresponding

photos on the opposite page.

> Here Glenda tore up a map and used it to embellish the page.

The intention is not to read the map but to use it as a

patterned paper.
