Embellish It! using repetitions with variety

A great way to make a scrapbook page with unity is to incorporate repetitions with variety.


Consider the recurrences of stormy weather in Wuthering Heights, of debt in the novels of Charles Dickens, and of smoke (from pipes, cigars, gas lamps, and, finally, of the fire) in Citizen Kane. Repeating images in a variety of ways brings a pleasing circularity to a piece. Check out the following short video for some embellishing ideas that use repetitions with variety.

We look forward to seeing your pages embellished with repetitions and variety in the Gallery. Find more ideas and design lessons for embellishing scrapbook pages in Embellishing with Alphas and Every Little Thing, e-books by Debbie Hodge and the DesignerDigitals team.
