I love the fancy mat templates from scrapbook shops but why pay $2.60 at least each unless they have fancy designs you just have to have !.
The simplistic way to save money and make the most of the bulk matching papers in your 180 page scrapbook packs is to use a template.
I simply traced around the one I purchased,using the left over backings from A4 card stock. ( I always use the backing piece for something), cut out the template shape and you have a solid reusable template to trace around.
The larger templates I make I tend to cut in half and rejoin with good tape. That way I can fold and store them easier.If you prefer pop a paper punch hole in them and hang them on a hook.
I am always on the look out in shops for interesting shapes I can template. Same for Google images.
If you are not using Google images when searching you are missing out on a treat. Simply click on "images" on your Google search tab and you are away. I generally alter the settings down the side of the images page and click on "large" so that I get images of a good size to replicate.
Enjoy :)
