Matting can be used to encourage interaction between the reader and your page. Look for new ways to make your matting interactive:
- Examine children's "pop-up" books for ideas to make mats more interactive.
Circle mat
- Use the Circle Scissor to cut 4 circles the same size.
- Measure the diameter of the circle.
- Cut a square with all four sides matching the diameter of the circle.

- Crop and mat a photograph, journal piece, or memorabilia.
- Cut a rectangle 1/4" wider and twice the length and 1/2" longer than the item to be hidden.
A Little Something
- Crop and mat a photograph, journaling piece, or memorabilia.
- Add a triple mat, but extend one side of the mat.
- Add extra embellishment or journaling to the extended space.
