This page is half a grid design made up of squares of pretty pattern papers mixed with embellishments, journaling and photos, the other half is a larger photo and fun title. This is a great way to use up square scraps of papers! I came across this on Suzanna Lee’s Instagram.
This colorful layout has a large die cut that includes lots of celebratory words cut from white cardstock and placed over a striped paper so the colors come through and there’s no need to back the letters individually. Notice how the black and white photo stands out from all the color. Visit the Cocoa Vanilla blog for more info.

This layout is bursting with fun using a large sunburst design in primary colors sewn onto the background.
