DeeDoo’s Digital Scrapbooking Blog

I love one- and two-photo pages, but I have so many digital photos capturing our events and everyday life that I find I WANT multiple photo pages more and more. I have a set of 7 12″x12″ multiple photo templates that I use all the time to scrap these photos and they save me so much TIME. They are simple templates that allow me to use my imagination to create a different layout every time. The only thing that remains the same is the number of photos on the page–and I can even change that simply by laying larger photos over the opening, or adding photos on top of areas that don’t have photo openings. I’ve also eliminated the border between photo openings to create different views. In addition, I can rotate each one 3 times, giving me a possible 4 orientations for each template. Needless to say, they have helped keep my scrapping wolves at bay. I was thinking that you might like to try these out, so I am putting the templates in the store later this week, so take a look! Here is the *before* plain template and the *after* finished layout. I was able to finish this layout in less than 30 minutes–woohoo!

You can see that I turned the template a quarter-turn to the left. I did this to preserve more of the feature photo. Oh, another neat thing is that the templates easily can be resized to 8″x8″ or 6″x6″ (or any square) and retain the proportions of the original.

Note that each of these templates is a single PNG file (no layers). This means ‘what you see is what you get’; meaning, they are just simple templates. They were created at 300dpi, so you can work with them without having to change the resolution, etc. You can place your photos in a layer beneath the template, or you can actually lay them right on top of the template and use it for perfect photo placement!

The templates are now in the store and you can view them HERE

Layered templates will be in the store soon. These are PSD files, rather than PNGs, and offer many other options.
