If I were to go back in time, I probably would have done my 2010 post about creating templates instead:. Design your own wedding templates. Works for any type of photo collage, grids included. It is especially handy if you plan to re-use the same layout for multiple projects. A grid I did of two of my kids. Is just an example to inspire you.
