    Hi, I am Suzanne McCeney and I am here at ScrapbooksPlus in Chantilly, Virginia, today we are teaching you how to scrapbook. I am going to teach you now how to crop a photo. Cropping a photo means cutting it into the desired shape that you would like and cutting off any excess. First of all you use your paper trimmer and you butt it up against the end, and you just slide your blade and this will trim your picture. This is used for your squares and for your rectangles. The four basic shapes in doing a photograph are usually squares, rectangles, ovals and circles. Next I am going to show you how to crop a picture in a circle. If you notice, this photograph has a lot of blue water backgrounds. So, in order to get rid of some of this blue and focus more on the people, I am going to trim it into a circle and cut out some of that excess. This product comes with a blade and a plastic template and this mat, and all you do is stick your knife into the photograph. This is very easy to see because this lays right over and you know exactly which hole to stick it in to the size that you prefer. You just cut around, and now we have your photograph. You would take your scissors and just snip the edges here to take the photograph out, and now we have a circle. This comes in many sizes. Also, you can crop a picture very easily with a corner rounder. This would just give it a different edge on each corner. Now we are going to teach you how to mat a photograph.
