Hi there
Thanks so much for joining us at True Scrap 3! I hope The Perfect Collection helps you get more from your collection packs and your paper collection in general.
Cutting suggestions
There are plenty of ways to cut your paper of course, but I find these sorts of dimensions help me get the most of my collection pack.
All dimensions are in INCHES.
11.5×11.5 (gives you two spare strips)
10×10 + 12×2 + 10×2
6×12 + 6×6 + 6×6
6×6 + 6×6 + 3×12 + 3×12
9×12 + 3×12
4×4 + 4×8 + 8×9 + 8×3
5×12 + 5×7 + 7×7
4×6 + 8×6 + six 1×12 strips
6×12 + 6×12
two 4×6 + two 4×12
8.5×12 + 3.5×12 (gives you a big piece to go through an electronic die-cutter, etc)
10×10 + 4 extra strips (if a pattern has a frame around the edge, cut the 10×10 from the middle to remove the frame. those pieces can be used as border accents.)
4×12 + 8×12
If you are familiar with my work, you may know my philosophy is that I only teach and share with real examples from my work, so this is a real album I am currently working on. (Thank you for letting me share that!)
If you bookmark this page, you can come back to it and see each layout as I complete it! I’ll be scrapping throughout True Scrap 3 and posting the pages here, so you can see them get added to this post as I go!
But you’ll need to bookmark the page as this is not visible on my regular blog – this post is just for you.
So these are the finished pages you saw in the video.

Hi Shimelle,
As usual, this was an awesome class! I cannot find the PDF that you kept referring to in the video. Can you help?
22 April 2012, 06:08
I can’t find the pdf either. Love the video though. I am interested when you add your photos do you pick the colours to add to your pages already set up? Do you worry about the colour of the shirt to match the colour of the paper?

LOVED. This was almost worth the cost of TS3 on its own. I loved this idea for going to a crop too. I look forward to seeing the finished album. Thank you!!!

29 April 2012, 05:34
Did anyone find the pdf yet? I want to try this but I don’t want to start without it.
29 April 2012, 15:39
I still haven’t found it. I emailed Lain about it and her assistant Kelli was going to try to get in touch with Shimelle to find it.
5 May 2012, 20:47
Just catching up with my TS3 videos and was wondering if I missed the PDF.
5 May 2012, 21:21

17 May 2012, 15:54

Thank you so much for a great class! I love this idea because I am always buying the paper packs, and now I know how I can get the most bang for my buck. Are we still waiting on the PDF?
Thanks!

I was hesitant to buy an online class, but your weekly classes on 2 peas have changed my mind. Thank you!! Now… which class to take next…. haha!
27 September 2012, 19:05
Just ordered the class and watched the video to see what it was like. love and will be watching after kiddos go to bed for more of the details I missed. After all the great reviews and chatter I am glad I ordered and hope it helps me use up my stash and create beautiful pages. Off to cut up some beautiful paper from a collection I used only one sheet from. Thanks Shimelle and those 2peas that are constantly talking about this class.
25 May 2013, 15:05

So without ever having second thoughts for those plenty resources to get to there including some renowned editorial platforms like custom academic writers, but don’t see any thing which possibly brings any defacement to it.
