last week i taught another class at the senior center. the focus was on how to get several photos on a page. even though i love to make pages that showcase one favorite photo, most of the time there are several photos that i want to include. sometimes i will just make a mini album which is another fun option.
so my solution is usually to use smaller size photos. this is super easy to do with the Epson PictureMate printer. it is so handy and the photos are every bit as good as the ones from a lab. a bonus for me is that i can just print out photos i need for a page as i go along. this is ideal if you don't pre-plan your pages. i love that i can print about 5 different sized photos all within a 4 x 6 template.
this page uses the smallest and largest sizes of photos. i also like that i can crop the little photos and leave a white edge on them. 4 of these little photos print out on a single sheet.
the small photos on this page are the smaller wallets, and they print two to a page. you can also print two wallets that take up the whole 4 x 6 template, but then you don't get the white edge.
i would love to know how you print your photos - do you print at home or send them to a lab, or a little of both?

I have an Epson Picture Mate and I cannot scrap without it! Awesome pages!
Angie-I really like the top layout a lot! You did a great job. I will be copying it :)
I only print at the store because I have no fancy printer, and I do like to get some 5x7's of special pictures. If I think of it, I can get smaller pictures by using the Kodak Picture Maker at the store. I used this to make a photo frame collage for Josh's Father's Day gift. There are many size options, I like the one that gets 4 pictures on a single 4x6 sheet. That way I only pay to print one "photo" but I get four different pictures that are still big enough for scrapping.
Angie,
This is Lisa, from the Wisdom Pursuit blog. My comment is irrelevant to this post, but I wanted to contact you to let you know that The Creative Call book discussion is beginning soon. Please visit www.wisdompursuit.com for details, and feel free to post them on your blog if you'd like. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Thanks for dropping byon my blog! Love your scrapping style, the garden layout here is fabulous - love the sense of the flowers bursting out all over you created by letting the lines all spill out over each other. Answering your photo question means admitting I don't scrap though so maybe I should keep quiet on that one ;o)
