I used to cut every photo into a circle or an oval, just because I could get more on a page that way. At the time I was all about as many photos on a page as I could manage. One of the funniest tales my mother can tell you about me was that when Creative Memories first brought out their glass circle cutter I refused to buy it. I was absolutely sure they would invent something that could cut both circles and ovals and I was not going to be the fool and buy the first tool that came out. Besides that if it could not cut my beloved ovals then it was not worth my time. Of course today we have many choices in cutting sytems, from your basic fiskars to the widely popular cricut, cutting any shape is no worry to us now.
One of the best things I learned from Stacy Julian was her "angles love curves" lesson. It is good for the eye to mix and match the shapes on your layout. It draws your eye across the page and allows you to "rest" on your focus photos. Allow your layout to be chosen by the "shape" of the focus photos. The photos will tell you what shape they call for, you just have to listen.
