Step-by-Step: Love

This is a tried-and-true way to design a multiple-photo layout.  On this layout, you can easily add up to four photos.  The decorative border is punched with a heart punch and then a coordinating piece of cardstock is placed so that it peeks through the punched hearts.  Here is how to duplicate this layout:
