Bright Idea 480: Vertical Stories
This design uses a series of vertical strips as the foundation, each topped with a framed photo and accented with coordinated embellishments.

Layered frames add dimension, and journaling boxes tucked beneath the outer strips help anchor the design. The result is a structured yet artistic composition that lets your photos and clusters shine.
