Scrapbooking with Triangles

Scrapbooking with triangles is a hot trend right now. I struggle to follow a lot of trends and this is one of them. I do, however, like how this project turned out.

The triangles on this project aren't as prominent as they are on some of the projects I've seen on Pinterest. I created these triangles by cutting patterned paper into 3 inch squares and then cutting them in half diagonally (from corner to corner).

 To some of the triangles I added another smaller triangle. I created these triangles by cutting a 2 1/2 inch square and then cutting them in half on the diagonal (corner to corner).

I added my journling in a few words scattered throughout the page using small black Thickers.

The title of this layout is "13." The journaling is simply a few of the things my son enjoys doing at the age of thirteen.

When a "trend" is intriguing and inspiring to you, make it your own and make it work for you! I made the triangles trend work with my style, a little differently than others make it work but I love it.

I found a few examples of layouts created using triangles:
Snapshots of my girl by Heather Leopard
Memories by Nicole Nowosad
We are Made of Stories by Elizabeth Kartchner
Adrienne Alvis PSL Love (the second layout in this blog post)
Wonderful You by Mel Blackburn (the second layout in this blog post)

Is there a trend that you like but you're not sure how to incorporate it with your own style? Maybe something like scrapbooking with triangles?
