FROM THE PUBLISHER

As a crafts industry leader, Kay Stanley designs and develops scrapbooking products that set the standard for excellence. The firm she co-founded, K&Company, offers everything scrapbookers could want, from embossed stickers to distinctive papers and vellums to antique botanical engravings. Here Stanley provides inspiration in the form of beautiful scrapbook pages with the distinctive K&Company look. Choosing your own photos, papers, and stickers, and then creating layouts, is a wonderful way to reflect on fond family memories. Creatively displaying photographs is an important element of scrapbooking. The subject of a picture can suggest a theme that will enliven a page. For example, center a photo of your favorite little leaguer on a miniature paper softball glove with leather stitching. This unusual focal point will evoke all the fun of playing sports.

Creating a circular frame using dimensional flower stickers is another way to draw attention to a picture. A gauzy ribbon bow will make a pretty finishing touch for your floral "wreath."
