Six Photo Collage Template

About this freebie

This free layered page template helps you build a layout quickly. The download includes 9 PNG layers sized at 3600 x 3600 pixels, which prints at 12 x 12 inches at 300 dpi. You get a background, six gray photo spots, a title placeholder, and a journaling strip. A flattened JPG guide and text file are also included to help you build everyday and travel albums.

Ideas for using it

1. Use the large 6.6 x 4.8 inch spot for a favorite vacation portrait. Fill the smaller spots with detail shots of food or scenery.
2. Document a busy afternoon by placing sequential action shots into the 3.5 x 3.5 inch square photo spots.
3. Create an everyday layout about your morning routine. Clip patterned digital papers to a few of the photo spots instead of using pictures.
4. Build a title graphic in the title spot and write the story of your trip on the journaling strip layer.
