When I first started scrapbooking, I had a hard time understanding why anyone would only use ONE picture on a layout! You have all of this space and you are only using one photo to tell the whole story? How is that possible? I take so many photos of a single event that normally I find it hard to select just one single shot that will explain what transpired.

Over the years I have come to understand why this is done, but I still like to put a multitude of pictures on one layout, especially if the story cannot be told with a single image. Travel, holidays, and scrapbooking lists are all great ways to use an assortment of photos on one page, as you can observe on the following layouts.

8 Faves by Julie Detlef

Supplies: Paper, Ribbon: Harmonie, Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, Die-Cuts: QuicKutz, Stickers: Making Memories, Tim Holtz.

Design Notes: I organized the pictures digitally in my Word document and then printed them out all at once. I then trimmed around them. I used alcohol inks on the acrylic ribbon slide.

Digital Supplies: Kit: Thankful by Rachness Designs for ScrapStreet.com, Stitches: All Stitched Up by Zoe Pearn Designs (SweetShoppeDesigns), Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3, Font: Blink Janneke Style.

Design Notes: Although I used 9 photos on one page, I kept the design clean and organized by combining the photos in just one block.

Vegas, Baby! by Veronica Trias

Supplies: Paper, Cardstock, Gems: The Paper Studio, Chipboard: KI Memories, Heidi Grace Designs, Stickers: American Crafts, K & Company, Momenta, The Paper Studio, Pens: Uni-ball, ZIG.

Design Notes: I placed all of my pictures where I wanted them, and then filled in the empty spaces with blocks of my patterned paper. I then layered on my embellishments. No measuring was involved to create this collage look!
