Ready to turn your page into a work of modern art? This stunning geometric Sketch 3 by Allison Davis for the Hip Kit Club uses a repeating pattern of triangles to create an unforgettable background that practically designs itself!
If you love graphic, clean lines and big impact, this sketch is your new best friend. Here’s why this mountain of triangles is pure scrapbooking gold:
The Background: A Quilted Mountain Range
The entire layout is covered in a fantastic, repeating grid of triangles. It instantly creates movement and depth on your page.
Pieced Pattern: The larger triangles are created from smaller triangles, making this the perfect place to mix three or four different patterned papers from your collection.
Texture Alert: Every major line features that signature dashed stitching—this is essential for defining the shapes and giving the flat paper background a cozy, quilted texture.
Small Details: Scattered throughout the background are tiny, subtle embellishments like small hearts and plus signs, filling the negative space within the triangles.
The Photo: Front and Center Focus
Unlike busy multi-photo layouts, this design keeps the focus tight with a single, perfectly matted photo cluster.
Size: A vertical $2.5 \times 3.5$ inch photo sits on the left side of the page, framed by stacked layers of paper or cardstock to give it weight.
Layering: The photo is layered onto a larger, slightly crooked frame and then stacked on a few tucked-in paper tabs/banners. This adds dimension and helps the photo “pop” off the highly patterned background.
Title & Journaling: Anchoring the Base
The title and journaling are stacked directly below the photo, anchoring the cluster and making it the clear focal point.
The Title: A strong combination of a bold, block-lettered “LONG TITLE” layered over a softer script “long title.” Mixing fonts like this creates instant visual interest!
The Journaling: A tidy journaling spot is created with a bordered tag shape, keeping your notes neat and concise. This spot balances the large photo above it.
Why this sketch is a must-try: It is an amazing way to use up those less-loved papers! By cutting them into small triangles, even the busiest patterns can work together in a cohesive, beautiful way.
