Don’t you love it when you find a paper that works so perfectly all on it’s own?
This diagonal striped paper caught my eye and became the driving force of this layout design. I loved the thickness of the stripes and the pretty pastel colors.
And, it’s so funny how my views on striped paper have changed over the years. Used to I would only cut stripes into smaller strips and use them as accents to tie in the colors of the layout together. Now, I see stripes as a fun and interesting details that can be so much more than an accent!
This layout was so easy because of this striped paper! I cut along the diagonal of the stripe to create a slanted striped background on a piece of white cardstock. Then I added hand-stitching in coordinating colors on each stripe. I love the subtle texture and detail that adds to the background!
For the rest of the layout I used a single photo with some tropical flowers and leaves arranged to create that visual triangle that brings it all together.

Jörg, and link in turn, the company he ran, have always been known as private and discreet. He rarely appeared link publicly in front of the media. He took the link helm of Bucherer in 1977, and upon Rolex's acquisition of the retailer, the Crown said that Jörg was "the last person still in activity to have known and worked with Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex."
If none of these references make sense to you, then congratulations, because you have (for the link most part), saved yourself time and brain corrosion, but Trinh has clearly harnessed link a demographic who are familiar with the algorithm and link respond to repetition and a recognizable "hook."
This is gorgeous! What paper line did you use?
