Design Theory with a Stitched Grid Layout

A new article over on the Close to My Heart blog talks about learning to look at scrapbooking layouts and pick up techniques that you can then use on your own designs. For their example they share a beautiful page with a grid design made up of squares of different pattern papers, with stitching between the blocks. Not wanting to cover up the beautiful background a single photo is the focus with a cluster of embellishments to add interest and drawn in the eye. All of these ideas can easily be incorporated into other layouts.

Book Nooks have been popular for awhile now, these are fun little spaces to sperate books and add some color and even light to your book shelf, think of them as 3D book ends. There’s lots of companies selling kits you can put together, you can design and create your own or use die cutting patterns like the one for this amazing Harry Potter themed Book Nook. Designed by Miss Mandee this Quidditch themed design has layers with Hogwarts castle in the background, the rings on the Quidditch pitch, witches and wizards on their brooms playing the sport and the famous golden snitch flying around.

I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and have lots of books as well as scrapbooks I’ve made featuring the Wizarding World and I can’t wait to download these FREE SVG cut files and use my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine to make one of these nooks for my own shelf.

You can get them too by visiting the Miss Mandee blog.
