Tailored Pages: Are you as linear as I am??

We had a conversation at our table on Saturday about angling vs linear placement of photos on layouts. What we soon realized is that angling either comes naturally or it doesn't. I'm not sure if I'm relieved or not. I've set a number of goals for myself and one of them is just that...to angle more on my pages. It really is something that I have to think about and to be honest, it doesn't get easier no matter how much I try.

While putting this page together, even the anglers in the group agreed that linear placement was probably best. Come to think of it, perhaps they were just trying to make me feel better. Either way, I gave the whole page a slight angle when I adhered the shaped paper to the cardstock...just because. So here you have another of my die cut pages from the weekend. It's called "Home is Where the Heart is".

Journaling Reads: You are my heart...cheesy grin and all.

Supplies: Paper (Websters, Crate, Jillibean Soup), Stamps (myStamp BOX), Flower (Prima), Lace & Letters (Making Memories), Pearls (Kaiser), Sticker & Rub-On (Glitz), Brads (Bo Bunny), Misc. Buttons

Before you go you have to tell me, ANGLED or LINEAR??
Which is it for you?
