Observations of A
typical Day

design by Erin Terrell

Stitching is one of the easiest ways to attach a charm. Here Erin matched her floss to the colors of her acrylic charms for a subtle look that doesn’t distract.

Tips
Stick with a style. Picking a single type of charm gives Erin’s page a polished look and complements her clean page design.
Find a balance.  Erin’s design has a lot going on with textures, prints, and typography. She’s kept these busy elements under control by including them in small doses and separating them with solid-color areas.
