Looking for a fresh way to add texture, dimension, and a little bit of “wow” to your pages? This training walks you step-by-step through creating a fully custom zipper. It’s a fun design technique that blends shapes, strokes, and a touch of creativity to give your layout a unique, interactive feel. Whether you're unzipping a story, revealing hidden photos, or just adding playful movement to your page, this technique is versatile and easy to master.
Photos capture the moment—but journaling on them captures the story. Adding words directly to your photos is a simple way to preserve details, emotions, and context that might otherwise be forgotten. This tip will inspire you to use on-photo journaling to strengthen your storytelling while keeping your pages clean and visually engaging.
This design uses a series of vertical strips as the foundation, each topped with a framed photo and accented with coordinated embellishments. The strips vary in height, color, and texture to create visual movement across the page, while consistent spacing keeps the layout balanced. Layered frames add dimension, and journaling boxes tucked beneath the outer strips help anchor the design. The result is a structured yet artistic composition that lets your photos and clusters shine.
You can continue to work on your projects and create even though the main portion of the crop is coming to an end! You have until the end of the day on January 18, 2026 to earn badges to collect your Exclusive Badge Blueprint and to complete pages for an opportunity to win in a random draw.
