I love a lot of pictures, that is what a scrapbook is all about. I have found since I started with the "pages challenges" that I can get a lot on a page and still get my journaling in with hidden tags. I raise up a couple pictures with foam dots and then slide my journaling underneath. It is great if you have very personal stuff to write or if you just want to work on getting your pictures on less pages. Hope this helps. Thanks to Erin_Jo for inspiring me to use hidden elements. You are great!
