How Can I Get More Pictures Per Page?

Below is a link to an article about placing more photographs on your scrapbook page.

How Can I Get More Pictures Per Page? By Ms. Demi


Many of the albums I design for my clients and my personal albums include numerous photos per layout. I continue to look for ways to maximize my layout space.

Something that works well for me is printing 2” x 3” and 3” x 4” (from a 4” x 6” photo collage) photos to use in my layouts. These sizes are small enough to add several photos to the layout and still have room for your journaling and title.


What tips do you have for adding more pictures per page?
