25 Cool Corner Ideas
This original article appeared
in the January 2003 issue of Creating Keepsakes Magazine entitled 25 Cool
Corners by Denise Pauley with illustration by Richard Hull.
"Corners can adorn just about
any page element-photos, journaling boxes or even the page itself. They can
serve a purpose (such as holding photos without adhesive) or simply serve as
additional ways to spruce up your layout. More than just triangles,
"corners" can also be strips, strings, squares or a subtly curved
embellishment that becomes a frame for your photograph."
Here are 25 great ways to get
creative with your corners
-Use curved accent pieces to
crop the corners of a photo
-Add some class and elegance
to a corner with a mini paper bouquet
-Use alphabet charms strung on
a ribbon to cross your corners
-Use a small strip of vellum
as a placeholder for a corner caption
-Use a large safety pin to add
charm and layers to your corner
-Place mini scrabble tiles
abstractly on the edges of your corners
-Make a small, functional
vellum envelope and place a secret message inside for an interactive corner
-Ticket stubs or receipts cut
to match your corners look great and add a subtle detail
-Use your corner as an anchor
for dangling accents to give your page movement
-Use a brass plate with
alphabet stamps for the corner of a school themed page
-A shiny brass word tag or
name necklace can add personality to any corner
-Strung beads are a good idea
on playful, fun pages or photo corners
-Use a section of a strand of
pearls for a wedding or anniversary page
