Book Page Art

I really love the book pages that have pictures, symbols, and quotes printed on them. So I decided to make my own and in the process learned that I would like a better printer. Other than needing a new printer, two of three tries turned out pretty good.

I printed a bluebird on a page that was 8x11 but the frame I found was smaller so I traced around the image. I ended up with more picture than book page, I still love it.

My other successful try is my bookworm buddy. My scrap pages from my book safe were perfect! I took a blank 4x6 photo paper and trimmed the scrap book page to size. I then placed my picture into a word document and centered it.

Before printing I went to my printer settings and ensured that it was set to print a 4x6 photo, landscape, and went back to my word document to make sure it looked right.

Now I just need to dig out an old frame for it.

The book pages fed through my printer with no problems.  And by using a 8x11 paper and the 4x6 photo paper to measure against my book pages made centering easier.  I will retry my bluebird again and have it set for the correct size I need.  After I get that done I will show the side by side comparison.  That will be when I finally decide to get more ink for my printer.
