scrapbooking collage pages

If you are tired of seeing page layouts with only one photo per page, you will probably like these ideas for maximizing your photos per page-spread.

The above page features 4 photos on top, 1 photo on bottom with a 12"x2" strip of patterened paper going across the page and underneath the photo. 

This page spread uses no photo mounting paper, just trim the photos to fit side-by-side with no borders showing.  Leave space on right-hand side of page layout for journaling the event or story.  The pages I used are Natural Scrapbook pages, I prefer these over stark White.

Here are some close-ups:

Ohh...you wanted a close-up of the muffins?  Sorry 'bout that...

Yes, there were 4 muffins when I started my Coffee Crop today. Many of you regulars know I also serve Frappuchino's - yum! 

Back to scrappin'.....here is an idea for a photo collage using whole sheets of 12-inch patterned paper behind your photos:

 

On this page spread I picked our favorite photo and enlarged it to 5x7. You may have noticed the 5x7 photo I used says "4th of July" directly on it. You can do this digitally using Storybook Creator Plus software before you print your photo, or you can use a title sticker to do this.

I just used a title sticker:

You can do this! Remember....Simple and Done is better than Fancy and Far-Behind!

Happy Scrappin',
