I have a bunch of pictures at the developer and I want to start scrapbooking. I need some advice on how to cut them to size for my pages. I was planning on using an exacto blade and a ruler. I don’t have much money left because I spent plenty on scrapbooking supplies. Would using an exacto blade or scissors be alright? I want to make sure the pictures are straight.
Also….
If you have any scrapbooking advice or links for beginners that would be greatly appreciated.
Hello – I explained this in your other question, cut the paper itself and put your picture behind the paper so you don’t have to cut your actual picture and it looks neater. Use an exacto knife to cut shapes out. It will be like matting for a picture frame

The scissors would be fine to start out. Eventually you will want to get a paper cutter. I have the fiskars one and love it.
