Love the Clean, Graphic Look? Have I Got a Template for You!

I love a nice straight line. Left to my own devices, I’d probably do every layout in linear fashion with lots of sharp edges. That’s why I was drawn to Michelle’s clean, crisp design that has plenty of room for pictures, journaling, and accents.

Teri (tdavenport) used the template perfectly to tell her story in pictures and words, complemented by just the right choice of colors.

Fiona’s (Applechick) creative interpretation of the template is a delight for the eyes. Her clever use of stitching draws the eye straight to that great extraction.

I used the larger spaces on the template for my pictures of the changing leaves and the smaller spaces for brushwork.
