Ready for a layout that is bursting with fun details and perfectly organized photos? This charming Sketch 6 by Allison Davis for the Hip Kit Club focuses on creating a festive horizontal border of decorative tags and flowers, offering a perfect balance between structure and whimsy.
This design is great for documenting small milestones, party snapshots, or any memory that deserves a sweet, layered presentation!
The Top Border: A Tag and Flower Party
The top half of the layout is dedicated to a lush, horizontal arrangement that spans the entire width of the page.
Decorative Tags: The background features a row of layered tags in various sizes and decorative shapes (like scallop edges and rounded tops). Each tag has a little bow or twine detail at the top. This is a fantastic place to use up paper scraps!
Floral Embellishments: Layered in front of and between the tags is a continuous border of flowers and leaves. This adds dimension, color, and a lush, handmade feel.
Journaling/Accents: Small, plain rectangular tags and tabs are tucked into this cluster, suggesting spots for tiny dates, names, or hidden journaling.
Photo Strip: The Perfect Trio
The layout anchors the design with a clean, horizontal photo strip that sits directly below the decorative border.
Three Square Photos: It features three square $3 \times 3$ inch photos arranged side-by-side. This format is perfect for Instagram prints or a sequence of action shots.
Layering: The rightmost photo is layered with a simple frame (or mat), making it stand out slightly from the other two and adding a subtle visual break.
Bottom Details & Grounding
The area directly below the photos and title is grounded with textural borders.
Strip Layers: The photos sit on a few simple horizontal paper strips, which helps define the photo block.
Scalloped Border: The bottom layer is a highly decorative scalloped border, which reinforces the playful, celebratory theme of the tags and flowers above.
Subtle Stitching: The scalloped edge and the outer edges of the page include dotted lines, suggesting stitching for a complete, finished look.
Title: Anchored in the Center
The title is placed directly below the center of the photo strip, creating a strong, horizontal focal point.
The Punch: A large, bold, block-lettered “LONG TITLE” stands out, layered over a soft, script subtitle (“long title”). This font contrast ensures the title is unmissable.
Small Accents: Small hearts are used as tiny accents around the title and on the tag border, adding touches of love and whimsy.
Why you need to try this sketch: This is a spectacular design for using up your small, pretty embellishments and die-cuts! The tag border gives you license to mix and match all your tiny decorative pieces.
