I prefer one page layouts. For me, they offer the opportunity to capture the moment and it is rare that I put more than three or four photos on one. But, some layouts just call out for the telling of the story as well as capturing the moment and for that I have found creating a mini album placed on the layout to be the perfect solution.
I cut two 12 inch x 5 inch strips of card stock that coordinated with the layout papers. I scored these every five inches, starting at one end. I overlapped the short ends one front and one back of each other and adhered. I folded forward and backward along the scores to form the mini album. I attached a ribbon under the book and a second across the front to keep the mini closed when not being viewed. I adhered the back into place on the layout after I had placed the pictures inside that helped me tell the story.
I would like you to share with us ways in which you have found work well for placing multiple photos on a one page layout. I will put the name of every person who responds with a suggestion into a hat and have a drawing in one week for a winner who will receive a prize from my personal stash. Please put your ideas in the comments section. Thanks,

Very Creative, this is super cute!
ReplyDeleteI like to print out photos into sizes such as 3x3, wallet etc and add them along with one photo (4x6 or 5x7 even) that showcases the story/layout. THis way, there is one bigger focal image, and then 3-4 supporting photos that tell other details.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
