Saw a neat idea for a layout (new to me; maybe some of y'all have seen something like it before) in the April 24th issue of "People" magazine (wow, a little ahead of themselves, aren't they?). It's on pages
112-113 & is for the 80th birthday of Queen Elizabeth.
It's a grid of circles (3/4"-1" in diameter) 11 wide by as many rows high (9 in this case). In the first column of each row except the first is a colored circle with the decade (1930, 1940, etc) in it. Since the Queen was born in 1926, a circle with "1926" in it was in the 7th column, leaving 4 circles for photos for 1926, 1927, 1928 & 1929.
The next row had "1930" in the circle in the first column, followed by
1photo per year for each of the 10 years in the 1930s. The rest of the rows followed suit, ending with 7 photos in the last row, 1 for each year from 2000-2006. Cute, huh?
Most of us wouldn't have a photo for every year, but you could put the year in place of the photo (or something more creative) for each year you didn't have a photo for. May have to do one for my dad's birthday.
