Scrapbooking Notes:
This layout is dedicated to my aunt Joan. I have a lot of photos
of her when she was young so I am grouping them together to be able
to include them all in various layouts. The five photos in this
layout just seemed to fall into place as I was arranging them on
the page. They made sense together. The four photos in the corner
of the layout are of Baby Joan when she was wearing the same dress
in different poses. They surround the photo in the middle of Joan
when she was really young. The photo in the middle evenly overlaps
the four photos in the corners. The center photo stands out but
doesn't hide any of the important parts of the other photos. The
five photos in the layout are arranged very symmetrically so the
page looks neat and not cluttered. The spaces around and between
the photos allow for journaling. I used a bold-tip pen for the journaling
because I was mostly going to be writing just a few words and this,
along with writing bigger would fill up the spaces. I wanted all
the spaces around the photos to be filled up with journaling because
if one wasn't the layout would look unbalanced. I wrote smaller
when I had more journaling to add but if you can't write small enough
(you might want to practice first to see if what you want to include
fits in the space) then you could use the fine-tip pen instead.
