So many photos, arrange it?

[Jasy1983]

Hello ladies

I have a question, I have soooo many photos of my two children. I have real problems with it to bring all into a layout, double pages I do not like that. I find it a shame if I had to leave out some photos in my layouts. I like to, in a layout are often 4 or 5 photos to see no more.

So my question is how do you do it?

P.S. My English is not so good, I have used Google Language Tools

When I want to include lots of pictures on a layout, the best help I have found is from Karah's Stuck Together frames. There are 16 packs...you'll find something to suit you. The other thing is Val's Frame Me.

You can see how I used them here...

Oooh! Good question. I also can't bear to leave any photos off!

Laura - your pages are gorgeous and Karah's templates look so fun!

Some more ideas:

Add photos to templates where cutouts or paper blocks were intended


Add an edge photo cluster


Resize and crop the photos small


Use a traditional (paper-style) blocked design


Or just freestyle

And of course, double page spreads are great for lots of photos


Make some photos into elements and since I always forget about what is in the background of my photos, I quite often [have to] extract and do this, like the toys in the foreground in this page

And there are lots of wonderful examples just browsing in the gallery here!

Oh these examples are so amazing ladies. I have to second Karah's stuck together. Such a natural for adding multiple photos!!

I agree. I find that using a template that allows for many photos is a great way to keep a page pulled together without getting too cluttered.

another idea that i've done several times (quite often actually, because I take about a million pictures it seems ) is to do the layout with three or four photos that you really love and then do supporting page(s) that are simply the other photos from that photo shoot. so I will have one cute layout to capture the memory & tell the story, and then two or three 12x12 pages after it in the album that simply display the rest of the photos. does that make sense? sorry, i don't have any examples to post at the moment.
