Last week I went live in the Scrapbook & Cards Today Sampler Facebook group to show how to create this grid-design layout from start-to-finish using the June SCT Sampler which features Splendid!
I used a 1 3/4" square punch to make a bunch of patterned paper squares quickly from the cute gingham papers by Honey Bee Stamps as well as patterned papers from Splendid. I machine stitched around the paper squares edges to add texture and interest, placed them in rainbow order, and then adhered them with foam squares for dimension at an angle on a white cardstock background. I added (6) 1 3/4" photos into the mix of paper squares, all of cute Jane just being her cute self. To embellish I added Floral Die Cuts, Epoxy Stickers, and bits and pieces from the 8-Page Sticker Book, mostly tone-on-tone. I journaled on one of the lighter sections with a blue pen and stamped the date with my Roller Stamp on the bottom left.
This layout came together quickly and easily with the help of the SCT Sampler and 1 3/4" square punch! I love that it can be adapted so many different ways - use a different paper collection for a whole new look. Use bigger or smaller squares. Leave out the machine stitching or replace with hand stitching. Change up the angle or create it horizontally/vertically. However you interpret this page design, I'd LOVE to see your results so be sure to tag me!
