Lovely Layouts
About three to five photos will fit on a page, depending on the size
Sketch the layout on a piece of paper that is the same size as your album page or picture frame or use OESD’s Explorations software for easy-on-screen layout.
Position the designs that will hold the photographs first.
Next, decide where to place lettering.
Finish by adding small borders and motifs to fill in empty spaces.

Look for designs that have a center area that is not embroidered (frames & shields(pack 11476), hearts (pack 11866), lace motifs (pack 11646))
Look for motifs that can be combined, rotated and mirror imaged to create frames (floral designs, borders, letters, mini embroidery designs that can be placed on the edge of a shield or frame)
Designs that are filled-in but have a final satin-stitched outline can be used if your machine enables you to skip colors. Or, delete the center sections of the design with the help of your editing software.
Personalize your page with embroidered lettering for places, names and dates.
