With free scrapbooking templates you can design and arrange the many photos you have scattered on your workspace into an aesthetically pleasing page layout. Free scrapbooking templates make it easy to decide on the best way to arrange your photos. Although you may be tempted to put a dozen on each page (a 12X12 page can hold a dozen photos squeezed in tight), wait! This is a time when "less is more". The story goes that Marilyn Monroe would put her jewelry on, and then take off one piece, saying there was more drama in understatement. Using the same idea, decide on the photos you want to put on a page, and then take one or two off, and only then decide on which free scrapbooking templates you want to consider using.
What is your style? Do you want a clean style, classy look or crafty feel to your pages? Our "Free Scrapbooking Templates Resources" section has loads of layouts for you to try. The general theory is that it is best to have an odd number of photos (such as 3 or 5) on every page but scrapbooking is all about breaking the rules and being yourself so have fun.
As scrapbook artists know, the basics of page design are pattern, color, and texture. Free scrapbooking templates give you the design part of the equation so you can concentrate on the color and the texture, plus a little journaling.
