My wife and I were very pleased with the finished product of each of the girls scrap pages I did up for Christmas, These ones were extra special as I also did the photoshoots with them.

I got thinking that it would be nice to have a finished collage type photo for the hallway or something of that sort, to this point we don't make a habit out of hanging pictures so we could go buy some type of collage frame and fill it with pictures but thats not too original.

I started scrapping up my own 24" x 36" page and thinking of ideas how I can bring that to life.

Has anyone done a photo montage of this type on Photoshop?

Would love to here your ideas etc, I can post some samples as It starts to pull together but for now it's just pictures on the background. Not sure if I want the photo/mat with some warped edges or make a full scrap page of the whole thing.

I've never tried anything in that size yet, but I have considered it before. I have tons of landscapes of the local area that I'd love to try that with. I have done some compositing with my landscape photos, but haven't printed large yet. Maybe this will light a fire and get me experimenting. I do have a large format photo printer, so why not try? And I think you could use the products that were suggested as a starting point. You might be able to enlarge them, use them as a starting point and then build around them.
