When I've created albums in the past I've spent many hours in MS Publisher, which is about the limit of my graphics ability. Some hours were happy: most were frustrating. I've just discovered Canva (https://www.canva.com/create/album-covers/), which makes it very easy to create a cover by picking from a large set of templates and editing as desired. Upload your own photographs for a personal touch and the resulting image file or PDF is free.
This isn't perfect for every album, but could save others some stress. I'll attach a couple I've just thrown together.

Great cover, Leigh!
I had a quick glance at the Canva site and bookmarked it. Thanks for sharing it.

Very cool, I just went through this with my 2 new cds I releases for my professional alterego. I used photos hop for the 1st time...whoa. I then sent it all to atomicdisc.com (http://atomicdisc.com) and they look great. I got the "Eco pack" @ a $1 a disc and you can order as few as 50 of those. The also have all the other styles. Check them out.
Rock on!
Nice covers and great links guys.
Rock on indeed.

Thank Hook, Atomic Disc is a great resource. Most of the services I have listed in my bookmarks are much pricier for low volumes.
