Hi, Cherries and welcome to the Cherry Blog! Today I’m sharing this large photo grid layout that I created using the new\u00a0Pinkfresh Studio Chrysanthemum<\/a><\/u>\u00a0collection. This layout is different than my typical style of scrapbooking for many different reasons. For one, this collection has a lot of pinks and oranges, which are colors I’m typically not drawn to, but I just found this collection to be so pretty! Another reason is I typically scrap two or three photos on a layout, but today I just have one. I like it when my scrapbook pages tell a story, which is why I usually go for more photos, but I decided one large photo would do. I also very rarely do grid-style layouts. I love them when other people do them, but often I just find them boring on my layouts. With all that said, I love how this page came out! Keep reading to see how I pulled it all together.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I started with my white 12×12 background and wanted to add a little color to it before I started embellishing. Grabbing inks or watercolors are my go-to for quick backgrounds. I used Catherine Pooler\u00a0Be Mine<\/a><\/u>\u00a0and\u00a0Catching Rays <\/u>Ink Pad<\/a>s to add some light splatters all around the background. I do this by stamping some ink onto a palette. The Catherine Pooler inks work beautifully with this technique because they are so juicy. Next, I grab my wet paintbrush and pick up some of the ink. I tap the brush on my finger to spread paint specs all over my page.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now it is time to embellish! I pull out all of the stickers and ephemera pieces I know I want to use. My photo is 3.75″ x 7.5″ so I start by adding some larger tags and pages from the\u00a0Journaling Bits<\/a>\u00a0pack. I really like the pockets and tags from this pack and using them to add hidden journalling is so cute! After layering some of the larger pieces with my photo, I start working on the grid section on the left side of the page using many of the squares from the\u00a0Chipboard Frames<\/a><\/u>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Once I have all of my main square pieces in place, I wanted to break them up with circles and the organic shapes of the flowers. For this, I used\u00a0Cardstock Stickers<\/a>,\u00a0Chipboard Flairs<\/a>, and the\u00a0Ephemera Pack<\/a>. To create a title, I used the “New Adventures” banner from the\u00a0Journaling Bits<\/a><\/u>\u00a0and added two diagonal folds so it would have some dimension and pop off the page. To make sure it would remain dimensional, I popped it up using Cherry Foam Tape.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is a fine balance between filling a page up so it is interesting and pretty to look at and being too busy. I think leaving some white space is needed so I tried to keep all of my embellishments within a border on the page. This also helped the grid-style I was going for.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This page was finished by adding some\u00a0Enamel Dots<\/a><\/u>\u00a0here and there. I love how this page turned out and had a lot of fun creating it! I hope this post has given you some ideas that you can use in your next layout!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
