Hi Kelley,
Keep it simple! I know that many pages with lots of embellishments are beautiful, but my philosphy is this. I
have a few hundres (or more) pictures I need to get into albums. I can spend 2 hours on an amazing two page spread that includes 2 or 3 pictures, I can stress about perfection and design and brads, and beads and stuff.
Or, I can keep it simple, and in the same 2 hours do about 8 pages and include 25-30 pictures with journaling. Some may say that my pages are not artistic enough, but that's ok! I'm not doing it to be an artist, I'm doing it to preserve my photos!
As Kathi said, don't be afraid to crop you photos and I also get double prints (although now that I'm a mostly digital photo gal, I just order the ones I'll be scrapping with and keep the rest on the computer).
There are a few magazines that have very simple ideas in them. I'm not sure if it's ok to mention them here, so PM me if you'd like.
Good Luck!
