Happiness (Four Corners)

So sweet and simple. This four corners scheme is just right for keeping the smiles front and center and still leaves room for a title and a little journaling.

Scheme 9 - Two Corners

Scheme 9 is an alteration of Scheme 5 - Four corners. You just leave off 2 of the corner pieces.
Having the one side of your page empty allows you to use a larger picture there - or even just a longer picture!
The left page use the Two Corners Scheme - Allowing me to keep my photo 5 inches long. I did crop it to 2 3/4 wide though to fit in and allow for the border to continue around the picture.

Scheme 8 - Tucked Trio

Scheme 8 is an altered Two in a Row! By tucking a third 3x3 either behind or on top of the original 2 3x3's you end up with a whole new configuration.The first layout shows 2 tucked trios together flip flopped - for a 2 page spread using decorative paper as the tucked piece behind the photos in a row.
The second layout shows on the first page a third photo is used as the third piece and on the second page a journaling tag as the third piece -on both pages it is layered on top of the two in a row. Also the page was turned on its side with the two in a row along the top on both pages.

Scheme 6 - Offset Opposites

Our 6th Scheme uses either a patern or solid 6x6 and 2 coordinating 3x3 squares. It will also allow you to use a larger picture as your focus on the center of the page.
The right side pages uses this Scheme:

See how I used a full size 3 1/2 x 5 picture as the focus? These pictures are from 15 years ago - and that was the size of the time - now you can't order prints that size!

Scheme 5 - Four Corners

This Scheme is very similar to Quick Quads -with a slight variation.
You will still crop and cut everything down to 3x3 size. When you adhere them to your page however, you will space them apart so that there is an equal border between all 4. Once you have them all stuck onto your page you will trim off the excess - bringing you back to the 6x6 page. It is so much easir that way than trying to cut them all to the perfect size.Here are some layouts with this skeme. The first one features the Four Corners Sheme with Scheme 7 - Color Blocked.
The next two pair up Scheme 2 - Quick Quads and Scheme 5 - Four Corners


Scheme 4 - Tilted Two

This Scheme is a fun one - playful and fancy free! You can use pattern or solid for your base page AND 3x3's to mix it up. You can also layer 1 larger photos on top of the whole page - or layer pics onto the 3x3's.

Scheme 3 - Over the Edge

This is another Simple Scheme - very similar to Scheme 1 Two in a Row. This time you will have your two pieces go "Over the Edge" of the page.

You can turn this Scheme to have your pictures along the top or bottom too.

Here are some pages with this Scheme.


The left page in that layout is this scheme - and the right page is a Scheme 1 - Quick Quad.
