This page takes me back to the newbie days when all I made were symmetrical, square layouts. This page could be very stark and possibly boring, but today I've shaken it up by overlapping some of the secondary photos over the primary image, and not others. I also made the four smaller images all different sizes, whereas when I was new to scrapping, they would have been identical.
Stretching the journalling out along the bottom, with plenty of white space, brings the eye down and helps balance what could be a top-heavy layout. You can save time by not matting each individual photo, because the entire photo arrangement has it's own mat to throw it into focus.
I actually REALLY like this LO and am going to go make one RIGHT NOW!
And I LOVE your shorter hairstyle as seen in photo above. I think you should update your profile pic.
OK, off to make page right now. OK, now.

OK, here it is, the 12x12 page I did based on this sketch. (Lyssa, I saw your comment...thanks for visiting).
