Author newtoit says: When i make my traditional pages, I may choose papers that are simple with stripes or solids, but then I have also selected and used pages that have a overdominating campfire with "camping" text vertically on the side. I have also cut my papers in 1/4s, 1/3s and in 1/2 and in even in small strips or cut out images from the paper, and to use as I saw fit depending on the page. So as far as backgrounds as my traditonally be defned, I am having a difficult time with "backgrounds" If it is a paper I feel I need, I will use it, put photos on it, or just simple text and leave the paper rather untouched as a title page for example. If this doesn't make sense, I can try and make this more clear. I admire all your hard work! Rochelle Aug 23, 2008
