Hi, I'm Nicole Harper with Creating Keepsakes magazine, and today I'd like to share three simple ways for clustering elements on your layouts. This is a great design technique to draw your eye to a focal point on your page, and also allows you to have a little bit of fun while you're doing that. So in our first example, the circle elements here of the folded paper not only draw the focus to the title, but also bring in some of the fun colors that are elsewhere in the page. While this example shows you how to use several of the same shape together, this next layout here shows that when you cluster different shaped elements together, they still act as a focal point. Here we've used different shaped stickers, textures, buttons, and all of them work together to help draw the eye in. In this last layout, we have clusters of both photos and accents. Naturally your eye is drawn towards the larger photo, but when you add a cluster of flower embellishments in the opposite corner, it balances out the page nicely and makes it more visually appealing. So as we've shown with these layouts, grouping elements together is an easy design technique to add a lot of punch to your pages. And hopefully the next time you sit down to scrapbook, you won't let cluster, get you in a fluster.
