Number of photos.

23 years ago

I have been looking at some of the pages on-line. They are really great and probably alittle more artistic then I can manage but I have noticed you don't use alot of pictures on a page.

I have done to pages (both at CM parties) and I found I like to have quite a few pictures on my pages (one has six, I think I don't have it with me so I can't exactly remeber..)

What I want to know is what is the average number of photos do you put on a page?? Am I strange at wanting so many pictures on a page???

Thank you

Felicity

Not at all...I would say my average is six. I'm not that artsy either.

Your not a bit strange. I too like more pictures on my pages. I have done a few pages using only a couple of pictures, but since I do the 12x12 pages I like as many pictures as possible.

Betsy - I was singing the Twelve Days of Christmas when I was putting together the photos. It's too bad I couldn't find some kind of bird to photograph in the neighbor's pear tree. LOL Juliet - I think AUTUMN WOOD would perform very well where you live. Because it's a dormant, I understand it doesn't grow well in the deep south. I think it would be a star anywhere in Zone 7 and up. Debra

Cherylco: In answer to your first question, I have learned that tomatoes have as much root growth underground as leaf area above ground. These tomatoes are planted in bottomless buckets so the roots can go as deep as they want. As the plant develops, additional compost is added so additional roots will grow along the bare stem. The black 1/2 inch PVC is to convert the bed to a temporary greenhouse for use in the spring or to extend the growing season in the fall. The black PVC crosses are stabilized by cutting 1 1/2 inch white PVC pipe into 1/4" pieces on my table saw. Any more questions?

Great question but it is really up to what you like. Personally, I like having 4-6 photos on a page, depending on how I design it. Sometimes if I don't want to cut a photo because I would lose details I only have two on a page. It is really up to you!

Gosh I hate being the odd man out! Of course here I am speaking of the 8 x 11 I use usually 3 photos, unless I have a lot of journaling or assorted accessories that go with that page. On my 12 x 12 album I would say the average is 4 or less. I too think it is up to the person doing the album and any number that makes them happy is fine. Penny

Yahoo. Finally someone like me who loves to get a lot of photos on a page. For me it's a rush to get 10 or 12 pics on a page. I always choose to add a few more pics instead of diecuts or decorative stuff. I use the 20 year test. In 20 years will it matter that I have the cutest sticker or one more photo of my kids? I have a hard time finding ideas on the web because most of the layouts only have 2 pics and tons of decarative stuff. I only do fancy pages for special occasion. Keep up the good work. Allie

For me, it totally depends on the picture. For example, I just finished my Mother's Day page. On one page, I have a picture of me and my mom, and that's it. (Of course, I used two or three frames to accenuate the importance of it). Then, on the opposite page, I put six or seven pictures (cropped) from our family cookout.

I also noticed that I tend to put my favorite travel pictures on a page by itself- if I take a picture of a pretty water, I give it its own page, but then I put seven or eight pictures on the next page to average it out! :)
