Ideas for Today

"There is no measure to the joy you bring to my life." This title seems so simple and yet so perfect, especially for those layouts where no journaling presents itself.

On each photo in the layout, select an area that is the focal point of the photo and put the selection on a new layer. Put a thin border on the new selection. Convert the original photos to black and white. Lock the two layers together. The focal point will be in color while the background of the photo will be in black and white.

Use a grunge frame (tilted) on the layer between the photo and the paper. Make a border around the photo like a poloraid. Possibly use one of the bent frame borders on the photo.

Tilt one of the photos in a slide frame so it appears to be falling out of the frame.

Use label maker words to hold down photos as you would tape.

Tuck photos under ribbons to give them grounding.

Use a fun arrow to direct the eye from the photo to the title and another fun arrow to direct the eye from the title to the journaling.

Tuck a note card with the title under an arrow.
