If you’ve ever wondered how to choose the right paper for each page without losing space for your photos, this is for you.
In this video, I’m walking you through my process for selecting the right paper for the right space—page by page—so your project feels cohesive, intentional, and still beautifully photo-focused.
As I go through the matting process, I’m sharing little golden nuggets along the way—simple decisions that make a big difference when working with patterned paper.
You’ll see how I:
• Choose paper based on the space and purpose of the page
• Highlight bold patterns without overwhelming your layout
• Keep the focus on your photos while still showcasing the beauty of the paper
• Add light layering where it enhances (not competes with) the design
It’s all about balance—letting the paper shine while making sure your memories stay front and center.
This is part of my Paper Phenomenon Finish series, where I break down the decorating process so you can apply it to your own projects with confidence.
If you enjoy this process and want the full step-by-step from start to finish, you can find my tutorials here:
