Custom Scenic Backgrounds
Use horizon stickers to create
scenic backgrounds that accommodate your photos. Create different horizons
depending on where the stickers are placed and how they’re layered. “Road Trip”
layers a highway sticker over a rolling hills sticker to create the feel of the
open road. The “Hooked on Fishing” layout uses a mountain sticker at the top of
the page and a row of cabins in the trees at the bottom to enhance photos of a
fishing trip in the mountains.
There are more than 30 border stickers to choose from, in addition to the
stickers featured here. You’ll find everything from Christmas trees and fall
leaves to picket fences.

Things to consider
• Adjust the horizon line on the page by where you place the sticker: at the top
of the page, in the middle, or near the bottom.
• Select paper and stickers of the same colors so the stickers will blend with
the paper.
• Try combining two or more horizon stickers, as shown in these layouts. Add
dimension by using pop dots to attach the layers.
