You've probably all thought of this before....but I just came up with the neatest idea.
While working on DH's Army album, I wanted to include a photo copy of a map of Germany he had. Well, the actual photo copy he had was quite large (larger than 12x12) & he had highlighted in yellow some cities on it. It's been in a drawer...and it's dog-eared. I knew I didn't want to cut it up...and I didn't want to use it as is. The white paper really wouldn't go with the layout.
I've been using a tan antique paper in places throughout his album. I took a piece (12x12) to Staples ...along with some blank white 12x12's I had that come inside some page protectors I purchased (that I had no other use for).
Staples was able to copy the portion of the map I wanted in black & white (thus removing the yellow highlighter) onto the tan antique paper. She had to enlarge the area I wanted to fill the 12x12. (She used the blank white 12x12's I brought to do her testing & centering on.)
My cost at Staples for CUSTOM ANTIQUE MAP BACKGROUND 12x12 PAPER..... 13 CENTS!!!!!!!!
I'll definitely be using this idea again (somehow) !
