I used the Fab Friday prompt at Frosted Designs to use brads and/or eyelets. I actually used both! I used eyelets to sting my twine through and create the illusion of it holding down the vertical strips. Then, I placed two groups of 3 circle brads to add interest on the brown vertical strip and used blue, square brads on the skinny plaid strip to add interest and shape. I turned the square at a different angle to add even more interest and some contrast. I used a Page Maps sketch for inspiration in the design.
The layout
Awesome page Laura!! I love the mix of square and round brads and the eyelets with the twine is such an awesome idea! And a very cute, boyish page! And those Amy Tan alphas...you KNOW I am loving those and still having gotten any yet!! UGH! :)
