Some tips to help you compose your page Layout...

When you are laying out a page, keep in mind that you have several elements to work with.

First of all, you have the pictures that you're putting on it.
Secondly, you have the background you're putting them on.
Third, you have type that tells you, at the least, who or what's in the picture and possibly when and why it was taken.
Fourth, you have any other design elements you want to use, such as blocks of color, lines, frames, and Embellishments of all kinds from rubber stamps to charms to ribbons and more.

These can be overwhelming, if they're not carefully placed. One of the main design points to remember is don't crowd. A cluttered page is unattractive and hard to read.
