"Dreaming" with Amber Layout | Anne Keller

Hey everyone,

Anne here. Since one week Amber is in my house. And, oh yes, I love this kit. The color combination is totally my thing. I paired the beautiful patterns with a cute b/w-photo from my girls sleeping next to each other and cuddling during dreaming. 

Nothing new for the start, just layer upon layer upon layer and the photo on its top. Then I discovered this lovely 3x4 card and I had to use it for my page. I matted everything on a big ripped stripe of the gingham pattern. 

Now to the details:

I used an ampersand and two numbers for my title. And then I stapled some words and phrase die cuts onto each other. I added an older silicone word from a previous kit.

After I finished everything I searched for the third point of the visual triangle. On nearly every layout of me you can find this triangle. It helps to complete a harmonic layout and guides the viewers eye over the layout. If I think something is missing on my layout, I search the triangle and add something along the lines. So this time the third point is on the top. I glued down a tab, stapled a folded little piece of lace onto it and put a little silicone heart on top. I added the date to finish the layout and it's done. 

What design principles do you use while creating a layout? Or do you create free-style? Let me know.

Have an awesome day, Anne.
