It's triangle week over on the Glitz blog and I couldn't be more excited! The triangle trend is by far my favorite when it comes to geometric shapes, I find them so much more versatile and fun than hexagons and arrows.
I know I have said it many times before, but Finnley is by far my favorite Glitz collection and I hadn't had the chance to play with it much. When we got the assignment to create something based on triangles I knew I had to break out this collection! A little while ago I put together a digital template with stacked triangles (which you can download for free here) and I began to use that for my layout but decided I wanted it to take on a different shape. I had this sketch pinned from ScrapFriends and started building a new template from that. I also used the sketchy circle from the Finnley digital stamps to add some background interest as well as paint splatter brushes which are easy to find on the web for free! I repeated the circle elements throughout the page to help balance the angular lines of the triangles.. And there you have it!
I have made my new template available for download as well! Which you can find here. I am pretty new to the template world so hopefully these are easy to use. I left the shadow layers in the template but feel free to delete them and use your own shadow styles.
Thanks for looking!
Welcome back for this month's blog hop! This month Social Media Butterflies is joining together with Chic Tags for a Blogapalooza with over 20 projects to inspire you!
You should have come here from Adrienne's page, if not head on over to the Chic Tags blog to start from the beginning!
This road trip collection was so fun to work with! I decided to use it paired with Studio Calico's "Hook" kit for a layout of a recent overnight trip we took. And yes, I completely left the date off that tag! I realized it of course as I was taking the pictures, I still need to go back and add that in.
I couldn't sop with just one layout though! I have a terrible habit of starting minis and never putting any actual content in them. I am working on changing that! While I don't do PL I did recently get two Handbooks from Studio Calico, one that I plan on using as a travel album for our family vacation coming up this summer. I decided to get a headstart on the travel album and these tags were the perfect solution! The pocket system is a whole new world for me, it may take a little getting used to.
Thank you so much for looking! Next up on the hop with even more inspiration is Amy!
