Design Theory with a Stitched Grid Layout

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.

Disney Themed Halloween Mini Scrapbook Album

Inessa combine two of my favorite things, Disney and Halloween, in this adorable mini scrapbook album! She combined Classic Mouse and Halloween Boo collections from Simple Stories for this fun 4″ x 6″ album project. I love the bright and bold colors and Halloween patterns with touches of Mickey and Minnie sprinkled through out. The cover has stitched polka dot pattern papers, a colorful title, cute Mickey die, enamel gems and tiny star embellishments.

Inside is lots of space for journaling and adding photos and some pages even have tabs on the sides and fun shapes or tags along the top, sticking out from the pages for added interest.

There’s also flaps for interactive elements. I love the mouse ears along the edge of this flap with the sentiment inside and the photos hidden underneath, so fun!

Visit the Simple Stories blog to check out the rest of the album pages and learn more about how the project was put together.
