Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop - July 2023 "Use a grid pattern"
Hello stampers!
Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop for July 2023 where we are being challenged to use a grid pattern in our layout. This is my first time participating, and I hope that you are inspired to also try using a grid on your next layout! You might have hopped over from Cheryl's blog - did you see her awesome layout?! If you missed it, head over there now... if you're still on the hop, there's a list at the bottom of this post to help you visit everyone else.
Scrapbooking Global is a Facebook group especially for scrappers who use Stampin' Up! products. It's a great place to visit for some scrapping inspiration, and everyone is so supportive of each other. If this sounds like you, please drop by for a visit and see for yourself :)
This month we are using grids in our layouts.
The challenge this month was set by Julia Quinn - thanks for the inspiration!
I played with lots of ideas, and several different sets of photos, but this is what I eventually settled on. I couldn't cover up those gorgeous daisies, and I love this cloudy blue! So, inspired by square white tiles, I went for a smaller grid as a feature, rather than a larger grid which was my original intention.
My tip for doing a grid like this, is to use a clear ruler with a grid on it - like a quilting ruler. It makes it so much easier - and even though it's not perfect, it's definitely better than trying to eyeball it.
I've used the following products to create this layout:
- Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper
- Azure Afternoon, Basic White and Mossy Meadow cardstock
- Cheerful Daisies and Love For You dies
Thank you so much for visiting me today - but now it's time to hop on over to Sharon's blog and see how other crafters have interpreted the grid challenge this month!
Happy crafting!
Lauren
