Practical Scrappers Blog Hop List
Nicole Laha
For my project this month I knew I wanted to make use of some old GCD Studio papers that I had, but they were in a 6 X 6 inch pad. So I needed to get creative. I love to do grids and they seem to be really trending right now - so I went that route! Here's the sketch I created to go with the layout:
And here's the actual layout!
Once I had created my grid I just pulled out my stash of die cuts and started pulling out ones that matched. Somehow, miraculously, they came together to make this. I was so excited watching as it all sort of just fell together! My final touch to help some elements pop a little more was to do some simple outlining. I have been doing a lot of that lately, a lot! I love the punch it gives to elements and since this fabulous hobby is all about doing what you love, why not?
Supplies Used:
Patterned Paper: GCD Studios, American Crafts
Die Cuts: Pink Paislee, Elle's Studio, Jillibean Soup
Stickers: Pebbles Inc, Carta Bella, Bella Blvd
Wood: Studio Calico
