Today's Tip

A lot of photos you want to cramp into a layout? Consider turning your photos into a photo collage. For an effective collage, look at the proportions of your photos and then piece them together in a way that show them off effectively.

Today's Tip

Occasionally, enlarge those photos that's special to you. The bigger photos will show off the photo's prominence and help to set the mood for your layout.

Today's Tip

Create Polaroid look-alike by cropping your photos into squares. Next, mat these photos with white cardstocks and you'll have "Polaroid photos" in a jiffy!

Today's Tip

Do you have many photos from the same event with distracting background? Why not crop these photos and turn them into design elements for your page? Line them up to form a page border for your scrapbook layout.

Today's Tip

Need a totally creative title for your beach vacations? Next time you're out on the beach, write out your place of vacation in the sand and take a picture of it. Then use photo as a die cut title for your vacation layout.

Today's Tip
