weekly challenge | Lisa Truesdell

I am a self admitted embellishment junkie. Patterned paper is nice, but my kit and collection love is won or lost on embellishments. I love to mix and match different types of embellishments on my projects, and don't consider a layout or Project Life spread done until it's been embellished.

To keep my projects from becoming embellishment soup, I like to arrange them into small groupings. As I'm deciding on the best placement, I think about the idea of creating a visual triangle that draws the eye through the most important elements on your page. On the page above, you'll notice that the embellishments become the points of a triangle that takes you to each photo and then my title. I further unify the groupings by repeating materials and colors in each one.

(supply list : paper - Studio Calico grid paper, Printshop Dear John, Sunday Best and Moon & Back; stickers - Printshop Vellum Stars and Accent & Alpha stickers; thickers - Printship Doodle; badge - Printshop Mini Badges; veneer - Printship Handdrawn Stars and Tiny Hearts; stamps - Edinburgh Stamp Set and Dublin Add-on; other - Tiny Attacher)
