Lose W*eight

While I can't give you the secret to losing w*eight on your body, I can give you a tip on how to "slim down" your scrapbook pages. With all of the heavy embellishments available to us, it's nice to be able to cut away some weight in other places. It helps to make the pages less bulky and the entire album lighter-weight and easier to carry. I've found that one great way to reduce the weight of my pages is to cut out the centers of photo mats - the section that is covered by the photo. I use a paper trimmer to cut only the center section of the mat, so that the cuts do not show once the photo is matted. Not only do you save in weight, but it will also save you money! You'll be able to use the centers of mats to mat other photos or to use as embellishments that will perfectly coordinate with the rest of your page.
