Matting Rules!


So far the consensus I'm getting is that matting is better. Although there are always exceptions, of course. So today I'm posting a pic of a layout that I matted the pics. If you scroll down far enough on the blog you will see the same layout without matting.
Let me know which you like best.
I want to thank everyone for their comments.

I also wanted to let everyone know that while I do often use wallpaper samples for backgrounds, I always make sure there is some kind of paper between the wallpaper and the photo. Actually, I'm finding that this matting is just the thing. It works well to enhance the pic and to form a barrier of sorts.

I prefer the matted version, I think... it makes your pictures stand out more and that is a nice highlight for a scrapbook page.

I definately like the matting. I mat a lot of mine, but as you stated, there are definately exceptions. Great job, keep up the good work.

If you would like to see some of my work you can visit my blog
http://360.yahoo.com/tickled_pink1211 and click on the tag cloud "scrapbooking". I don't have a lot of them there, but I think I will post a few more of my layouts in the near future.
