Take Your Pick

Do you usually scrap a single photo on a page or many photos on a page? There’s no wrong answer to this question, especially if you’re using our featured template, Pattie Knox’s Speed Byte No. 025. It’s so versatile you can use it for either scenario. There’s a spot for a focal photo, a spot for journaling, and lots of small spaces for paper and/or pictures and accents. So take your pick!

I love the way Bailey (Starlite9711) used the template to recap how her family spent the summer. She filled many of the small spaces with shots of their fun-filled activities and included a terrific focal shot of her handsome husband and two adorable children. Her title work is a gem, too!

Jess (jesshunt) tells the story of her son’s summer swimming lessons using Pattie’s template. She used more than one of the small spaces for three of her four supporting photos; this is a great technique when you don’t want your photo to appear too small. Aren’t those two splashes just brilliant?

I rotated the template because I had a landscape-oriented photo that just begged to be scrapped. I also reduced the template’s size so that I could indulge my latest addiction: multiple mats and stitching. My other addiction is patterned paper, so I filled most of the squares with some of Anna’s yummy polka dot papers.
