Hi there, Katie here!
I was lucky enough to be off scrapbooking with friends at the weekend. One of my layouts I had planned in my head was of our day out at Easter in the Quarry. I was lucky enough to take LOADS of photos and for once NONE of the kids complained not even the eldest and looking through the photos I realised that I wanted quite a few of them on the one layout.
I started by printing out my photos all the same size, about 3" x 2.25".
I had a rough idea in mind to do something like the Berenstain Bears story 'Bears in the Night' it goes along the lines of ' up the hill, through the woods' etc!
I used lined exercise book paper as a plain background and added a few tags from Cosmo Cricket and 7gypsies and some small pieces of 7gypsies paper (the bird eggs are cut from this paper too).
I then started to lay the photos onto the background overlapping some, tilting others and matting some on cardstock.
I then added little titles and descriptions by hand and a title using QuicKutz alphabet and Kaisercraft stickers.
Here's the finished layout:
I like to take this approach with lots of piccies, print them small and add as many as possible to one page!
Here are some other layouts I've made with lots of photos:
Our trip to LegoLand, again layering up and overlapping photos so I could fit all my photos on the page.
Here's photos of Rowdy (our lil Beagle) growing up using 7 gypsies Paddington papers
So don't think that you can't put LOTS of photos on a page because you can!
Just think small and think overlap!
Happy Crafting!

I love the fact you can create layouts with tonnes of photos...a thing i'm not that comfortable doing.
