This 17 photo sketch shows that it is possible to make use of several patterned papers and embellishments, and yet still get lots of photos on a layout.  The key when you are taking the photographs is to not zoom in on your subject in every picture.  Make your zoomed shots count!

The sketch was created from Robin S’s layout here. She used 4 patterns and 3 solids, plus lots of fun embellishments!  And can I just say that I love that she used a paper line that has alot of pink in it for a fishing layout that is male-dominated?

This 10 photo sketch can easily be adjusted for fewer photos, if you like. I like using the 4×3 size because you can get 2 of them on a 4×6 print.

The layout I created actually used 12 photos, because I made a photo strip at the bottom of the left page. I used 6 patterns and 1 solid. I’m not sure more patterns would have been possible, but I certainly could’ve used less.  As you can tell, though, I love mixing patterns!

This 11 photo sketch is especially for all you circle-lovers out there.  And if you don’t love circles so much, you could easily replace the circle pictures with squares.

Credit for this sketch goes to my friend, Robin S., who created the original layout, shown here.  She has been such an inspiration to me… I want to scrap like her when I grow up

This 15 (yes, 15!) photo sketch is flexible, if you need it to be.  You could do more, or less.  The position of the title is different than many of the other sketches, being positioned in the bottom third of the page instead of in the top third.

In the example I only used 14 photos because my title was so long.  That meant I had to adjust my other photos as well, to fit in the journaling.  And if you look closely at the left side of the page, the 2 larger photos are not the same size.  And that’s okay!

This 13 photo sketch fits lots of photos on the layout without it being too cramped, and it still leaves ample room for journaling and embellishments!

In the example, I used 4 patterned papers and 1 solid.
