If you are doing fall pages, add a few leaves and some twine or raffia. Winter, use a few snowflakes and snowmen. Change the placement of the photo. Create the page just the same and turn the whole page clock wise. By doing this with a 12 X12 spread, you can create up to 8 different layouts without having to come with a whole new idea. When you change the layout to a way that you like, simply add some embellishments to liven it up. Change the font of your journaling and titles. Place one at the top and one on the side. Use tags in different corners or have them coming form the mat of your anchor photo. If you are doing a 2 page spread, use a bigger title on one page and journaling on the other. This way you will bring them together as they flow. Try and maintain a visual balance on your pages, use accents and embellishments that are approximately the same size on both pages. Cut the corners of your mats and photos to change things up a bit. Add a flower to the top of one corner and the bottom of the other.
