I’m not normally a “rule” follower
when I scrapbook. It can be so stifling
to the creative process. But one rule of
design that just seems to work is the Rule of 3. The idea that embellishments used in odd
numbers – 3,5,7 – are more appealing to the eye.
In the layout I’m showing in this
post, this rule even helped me complete the layout. Originally, I’d only placed the yellow and
the pink gems. But it just looked off to
me. So, remembering the rule, I grabbed
a tag and added the teal gems. So
simple, but just the right touch.
These are photos from the Town Square in downtown Anchorage, AK. We were so surprised to see this sea of beautiful, colorful flowers! As I wait for Spring to make a permanent appearance, these lovelies make a great substitute.

Such beautiful pictures and a great layout! You're right, the Rule of 3's is one of those rules that just seems to work every time. So does making visual triangles; your two photos and the tag make one. Love this layout, nice job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, love the colors and the rule of 3's
ReplyDeleteI've also started using the rule 3,5,7 from Tiare teachings. It works!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tidbit. It's a beautiful layout!
