Creating triangles in your pockets

How pocket pages make visual design triangles easy and fun

The template sets I return to over and over again are the “Messy Pockets: Boxed” ones, because they make creating balanced yet seemingly intricate pages incredibly quick, easy but satisfying.

The pocket design means that I can add as many (or few) photos I like from a set of travel photos, or from an event, and fill the rest of the spaces with pocket cards, paint, and clusters of elements.

That also makes it really easy to create visual triangles within what is essentially a squarish ‘block’. If you look above, you can trace a triangle from my daughter’s face on the top right, to her again on the left, then across to the final photo - and the bird - on the lower right.

For a bit of fun, see if you can find the “hidden triangles” in these other pages with the templates:

I used the new “Winter Chill” collection, which is half price in today’s “BYOC” (‘Build your own collection’) release at The Lilypad:

Also: if you missed out before, my Christmas collection “Myrrh” plus “Retro Ho Ho Ho” elements are now at Oscraps and on sale :-)
