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. The strips vary in height, color, and texture to create visual movement across the page, while consistent spacing keeps the layout balanced. 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.
