Abstract
A template for guiding an implement on a design page, such as a scrapbook page. The template has a first plurality of interior edges defining shapes and a second plurality of interior edges defining borders around the shapes. The first and second pluralities of interior edges are configured on the template so as to provide a layout that is transferrable to the design page. According to one embodiment, the interior edges are configured on the template so as to provide a layout which is transferrable to the design page without having to reposition the template. The layout is employed, according to one embodiment, to arrange display objects, such as photographic or hand-drawn pictures, on the design page. In one embodiment, the template has a third plurality of interior edges defining slots, which are employed to guide a user in writing captions corresponding to the displayed objects.
