| Scrapbooking Notes:
I trimmed all the photos first to make them the size I needed them
or to trim away any damaged pieces. Then I cut out a square of the
blue photo mounting paper and arranged one of the photos on it so
the square now looks like a diamond. The photo I chose to attach
to this piece of paper was one of the mother and father because
this is the one I wanted to highlight at the top of the page. Next
I arranged and attached the three photos of the brothers near the
bottom of the page. I placed the one with no border (and the one
of my grandfather coincidentally) in the middle because it seemed
more balanced that way between the two photos with borders. I separated
the photos of the parents and children with a decorative sticker
border to add more definition and distinction between the two sets
of photos. I added decorative letter stickers at the top of the
page and on either side of the diamond shape to spell out and indicate
that this page is about “The Macey Family”. One final
decorative accent, the decorative photo corners frame the photo
arrangement on the top portion of the page and fill in the blank
space just a little bit. You don’t want to fill in the empty
spaces completely because that will make the layout too cluttered
and take the focus away from the photos. I wrote Sons & Brothers
beside the decorative border sticker as the title for the second
portion of the layout and wrote the names of the children and the
parents under or above the photos to indicate who they are.
