My Artiste

 

 

I pulled out my Everyday Eclectic collection the other day to scrap some photos of Ellie from this past summer.  The colors in this collection are perfect for summer.  Ellie's hair had gotten pretty long, and she just looked like a big kid coloring on the driveway at her grandparents....I had a moment where I felt like I had a glimpse of what she'd look like in ten years.

This was a really easy layout to put together.  I created a basic four quadrant grid using 5" x 5" squares of the collection papers.  Even if you're not going to use those quadrants to center your pictures, this can anchor your page.  Then I added my photos on top, kind of a grid over a grid. 

I added a little fussy cutting using the papers in the top left and bottom right quadrants, to extend the patterns past the grid that I created and add a little dimension too. 



Then a few easy embellishments, the sticker at the bottom is from the Everyday Eclectic collection, and the two elements in the upper right quadrant are from Pink Paislee's Porfolio collection.  And that's it.  I love it when layouts come together this quickly!

I hope that you had a great weekend, ours was busy, not much time for crafting, but I'm planning to fix that tonight.
