The photo of Marilee has nothing to with the Navigation theme of the collection, however, I just like the color and style . . . so it works!
Simply trim a series of 1" squares from assorted papers in the collection. Crop a 5x7" photo to 5x6" and trim into 1" squares. Be sure to layer everything with several mats in contrasting colors and anchor the grid element with gold-edged satin ribbon.
The CS Grid Ruler is critical for maintaining equal spacing between 1" squares.
Apply a few dabs of adhesive from Club Scrap's handy Glue Pen to adhere the squares.
And finish up with a few embellishments from your stash.
Thank you for hopping with us. Next up is Debby at Masculine Inspirations in Paper Crafts.
Wishing you a very creative new year!

ReplyDeleteI've always loved the grid look. I've just never bitten the bullet to give it a try... now I want to try it again! :)
ReplyDeleteLove love love!!! I am so glad that you have shown us how to do this with paper. Thank you very much, Happy new year to you and yours Kay.
ReplyDeleteReally spectacular, this have a collage and scrapbook feel to it and yet your daughter is still the star- love it!This is definitely added to my list of items I want to make of pictures from my daughter's wedding- thank you and wishing you a wonderful NextYear!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful girl. Your page does her credit.
ReplyDeleteoh thank you Josette, I have been fortunate that Marilee didn't mind all my picture taking over the years.
DeleteThe page is gorgeous, love the grid, and I agree with Josette, she is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet photo! I love how you used all the fun embellishments and charms in the layout too!
ReplyDeleteI love the grid look, takes, time but the outcome is great. Love how you decorated the squares.
ReplyDeleteWonderful grid layout, Kay. I can never seem to get my squares to stay straight. I'll have to try the bookbinding glue and grid ruler next time.
ReplyDeletewell, don't look to closely, my squares are not very straight either, however, I've come to the realization that we are all too hard on ourselves anyway haha, so they are good enough :) Also, I left 1/8" space between the squares, when I look at it today, wish I would have done more like 1/16" ....i guess we can always find something we want to change ha! But using the grid ruler is just the right tool for sure, of course.
DeleteGorgeous page, Kay, as always! Way to put that Grid Ruler to work!
ReplyDeleteAwesome page, Kay!!
