... that is not linear or a grid design. Done and done to death in my current album.
I have a fun topic and fun papers picked out, and I'm looking for a more free form design to use with them.
Organic, curves, circles.
One page, 12x12.
Any ideas for me? Link me up!

I like that, Linda. Everything is toward the center. But with the 4 same size photos, it ends up looking a lot like a grid to me regardless of what other shapes are on the page. I think I might make a big wave shape to follow. Or maybe I'll just drop one of the photos and use a sketch like the one you suggested. (I'll just put the extra one on the next page instead. ) Still thinking about this one... |

I like the big circle layouts I've seen, but I don't have a way to cut a big circle accurately. I could make a messy one though, out of die cuts or paints. Maybe... |

This one has an extra photo, but it would work with four. The tilting and overlapping adds fun and takes away from the grid look. Pinned LO |

I also like this one. The photos here are square, but this would work with rectangular photos as well. 4 photo sketch |

I don't have a sketch, but as I read your post, I immediately thought to place 3 photos in a line across the top or bottom, and then put the 4th photo at an angle in the other space. Mat it or double mat it. Put a journal area or title next to it etc. Just a thought.

So many good ideas. I'm still not sure what the plan is yet. I'll look at it again tomorrow.
Thanks for your suggestions everyone!

I like that diamond shaped arrangement a lot 950nancy. It's similar in some ways to the second one grammadee suggested. I'll take a look at it in the morning and see if I can make it work. Thanks! ETA, yes, I like it. I was a little concerned because I already put a border on the background paper, and I was thinking I'd need to mat the photos, so both those things would impact the amount of available space on the page. But I think it'll be good. Thanks again!  |
