A 10-Photo Sketch

If you're stuck with a lot of photos (how about 10 of them?) and aren't sure how to fit them all on one layout, try out this sketch design!

_{Retirement by Becky Higgins. Supplies Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper; Patterned paper: Scenic Route; Letter stickers and brad: American Crafts; Corner-rounder punch: EK Success; Ink: ColorBox, Clearsnap; Pen: Precision Pens, American Crafts; Font: Gill Sans; Adhesive: Easy-Stick, Duck Products, Henkel Corporation.}

Notice how I used a 12" x 6" photo that spanned both pages of my layout instead of using two 6" x 6" photos. See how you can adapt the sketch to make it your own!

Becky's time-saving tip: Let this layout design be a reminder that even just one or two simple elements (a strip of patterned paper or a turned corner) can be all you need to complete a layout. I really appreciate layouts that take less time. Don't you?
