This layout today showcases one of my favorite design concepts that I find myself using over and over. The way I look at it, we don't always have to reinvent the wheel every time we create a layout. I like to use concepts and then adapt them to different themes, photos, papers, etc.
Supplies used - Cardstock: American Crafts; Patterned papers, stickers, & die cuts: Simple Stories
This particular design consists of a larger section (usually 5 to 7") going across the whole layout. Then I will place my photos on the bottom and balance that with my journaling in the opposite corner. To me, it's one of those no-fail concepts that can be altered to fit so many different designs and themes.
For this one I used small slanted pieces grouped together to create the background section. You could do so many different things to create the background like...
• simplify by using a single 12 x 6" strip of patterned paper.
• use squares like 1", 2", or 3"
• use vertical strips
• use horizontal strips
• use small pieces to create a pattern
• use shapes like hexagons, stars, hearts, or circles
For the photos I used two 3 x 4" photos and then added some embellishment clusters along with a title cluster.
In the top left corner I added my journaling and another embellishment cluster.
I highly recommend giving this design concept a try! There are so many ways to play around with it and adapt it to fit your needs!

For $2,500 and change, I really can't see why this shouldn't be an absolute link hit. link And remember – the Longines Spirit lineup as a whole is only link one year old. If we're already seeing releases as compelling as this in the collection, I can't wait to see what's next. The sky's the limit.
The Saxonia Thin is the entryway into one of the world's truly great watch brands, but what becomes apparent quickly after you put this watch on is that link there isn't any "less than" quality to it. Rather it's a link distillation of craft and purpose. If anything, the fact that it's a simple two-hander emphasizes the fact that this link watch, and Lange more broadly, is about getting the details right in every aspect of the timepiece.
