Many Large Photos

I to try to keep things as cohesive as possible within the theme, but you still have the possibility of adding in details and many different types of papers and embellishments.  Using tones in the same family and black cardstock to frame it all together worked here.  Just like in home decor and design, having dark or black pieces in a room can ground things and create a focal point of sorts.  In this layout the use of the lantern die-cut also did the same thing.  I also allowed for another spot of interest to add a grouping of embellishments. 

 

 The title Letters are also large to keep up with the size of the photos used.

Keeping it simple is another way to go, especially if you are going to use a colorful pattern paper.  I love pattern paper and by framing it in and keeping the embellishments simple, it still works well with many large photos.

Just a few metal embellishments adds a bit of sophistication to this graphic layout.  The papers and embellishments do not steal the show, but rather highlight the theme of the photos.
