Multi-photo LO's : Inspire me!

[stayawake]

I have over 30 Christmas photos that I have to scrap, and I seriously do not have time to scrap them one by one (and I love love love multi-photo LO's that tell a story) but after playing for an hour with this, nothing's working.

Inspire me! Your favourite Multi-photo Lo's (especially 5+), yours or someone else's or templates that are just the best.

Thanks!

[Leila]

I've got a few that fit the bill, one is even a Christmas page!

There are 28 photos on this one...

Bree and Darcy both have some great mutli-photo templates in the shop. Bree's 365 sets would be fantastic for all your photos!!

[lhaslem]

templates are the way to go for me...Janet Phillips had some great ones if you've got any stashed away (since she no longer sells). Also, check Penny's store, she has many MultiPhoto (2 pagers and 1)...

[cheltzey]

So I have, like, a million...I love using Nancy Comelab's photo clusters. It makes the placement so easy. Bree also has a ton of multi-photo templates; check out the pages for credits:

Great pages ladies! I'm horrible with multi-photo pages, but I know there are some awesome templates in the store that can help get the juices flowing too!

the majority of my pages have more than one photo in it. I take way too many pictures and scrap pretty much everything, so I need to get pics in.. here are some of the ones I have done recently:

When I started digiscrapping I thought almost all my pages would be multiphoto. I was certain that's the way I'd want to scrap. But it turned out pretty much opposite, and I don't have a lot of multiphoto layouts.

I bought my share of templates and photo clusters for them early on, convinced I'd be using them like crazy, but they always seem to make me feel too restricted when I do do a multiphoto page. I tend to need them to be a bit more freeform, or at least my own page design to get my creative juices flowing. Which is probably just me being my weird self, lol... anyway, here's some of mine:

Only 4 photos, but I love the way this one turned out.

(I made a template from this one for a challenge on La's blog, so feel free to grab it from over there (http://scrapfasticdesigns.com/blog/?p=58) if you want it. :))

[ColleenSwerb]

Do you REALLY need to scrap all 30 photos? I'd never get anything done if I had to scrap that many photos from one event.

Lots of great suggestion in here though!

[Nikki Epperson]

I use Penny's Bent Bunches when I want to scrap more than 2 or 3 photos. They never look right to me - so I get help :) :)

That's my only one with 5+... all the rest of mine usually have like 3... or 1.

A little birdie told me that there's a big freebie coming to Lauren Grier's blog soon that has something to do with multi photo layouts. (sorry if that has already been mentioned, i didn't read the other posts). Here's a couple of mine

I almost always use a template for multi-photo layouts. Darcy has some in the Shoppe, as does Bree. There are lots of other templates out there as well.

Thanks everyone, these are all fabulous inspiration!!!!

(and yup, I'll be scrapping all 30 photos, we had five Christmas events in the course of 7 days, and so many great photos and this is a big memory for me, so yup, gotta get them all! May be 6 different pages, but that's okay!)
