Ok, lets get to it! One design rule I always follow is to make my photos pop by either matting, outlining, or highlighting the edges of the photo or LO. Regardless of project type, whether digi, physical, or somewhere in between, I would follow this rule of thumb. After all, it is the person I am memorializing that I want to shine in my LO, not the kits. Here are some examples:
I love your layouts!! my fav is the last one! That is a great tip. I do the same thing... i try to make sure that the photo is the focal point not the embellishments or paper.
