News & Coffee by Amy Mallory, as seen in the March/April 2013 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine.

Sketch Tip This sketch showcases a single 4" x 6" photo on the left, then provides a grid of nine 3" x 3" spots on the left so you can focus on the details. Call attention to your primary photo by printing several of the smaller shots in black and white, or with a sepia tone, as Amy Mallory did here.

Design Tip Punch geometric shapes from the foreground paper to frame your photos against the background. Layer additional photos or patterned paper under photos to add dimension.
