I like dual-page layouts. Here's one where the "film-strip" borders allow me to add 8 pictures and still have a couple of large photos on the pages. These pages were really quick and easy since I now have a wide-body printer, allowing me to print the title and journaling directly onto the pages. The most challenging part was getting the pictures into the film-strip. I have transparencies for film-strips from Hot Off the Press, but instead of using those, I printed my photos with a faux film-strip frame from one of my software packages.

You have so many interesting pages... I'm drooling over your wide body printer! I would really like to have one as well. Are you changing to digital scrapbooking?
Cheryl: terrific scrapbook layout! I'm intrigued by your wide range of topics and apparently lots of travel experiences.
The filmstrip look is a wonderful way to incorporate lots of additional/supporting photos to the focal featured ones.
Thanks for your comments! To answer your question Penny, no, I will not likely be changing to digital scrapbooking anytime soon. I like the dimensional look & feel of traditional scrapbooking. However, I guess you might say I do hybrid stuff. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but even though I printed the journaling directly to the page, the pictures were printed, trimmed and adhered as usual -- except that I printed them with borders rather than matting them.
Often I will print borders for a number of them my pictures (or print them with white space around them that can be used as a border when I trim them). I may then use mats for further enhancing or just for the focal photo. Of course, sometimes I decide I don't like the printed borders & trim them off to use mats - whatever gives me the look I want in the fastest & easiest way. :)
