Pictures, Papers, and Accents, Oh My!
I love a template that lets me mix it up with numbers of pictures, pieces of paper, and accents. I know, I know – it’s called versatility. Lynn’s template answers the call to versatility beautifully. The five spaces enclosed within the worn frame lend themselves to so many combinations of paper and pictures. And then there are the paint smear and label with brads for extra touches, in addition to two spaces for background papers. Lots of possibilities!
Patricia (iUma) takes us to the coast of Cornwall in her page about the village of Portreath. She used the upper spaces of the frame for a gorgeous landscape shot of the coastline. Her accents extend the nautical theme expertly.

Heidi (Heidi2008) reduced the size of the template (genius!) and filled the lower portion of the frame with cute patterned papers to complement the photos of her daughter learning to skate. I love how she used the yarn swirls to call attention to Lana’s skates.

I used the template to tell a story about breakfast at our house when I was a kid. Two of the spaces in the frame became homes for my title and my journaling. Like I said, this template is SO versatile.
