Matting Styles

The way you mat your photos in a layout can make a big difference. Here are some basic scrapbook matting ideas:

Single Mat Variation 1:

Single Mat Variation 2:

Double Mat:

Triple Mat Variation 1:

Triple Mat Variation 2:

Broken Mat:

Wide Mat with Embellishments:

Single Mat with Multiple Photos:

No matting:

I don't use this very often as I like the whole matting look, but sometimes a layout doesn't need the pictures to be matted -- especially when you have multiple photos on a page.
