Good morning memory keepers! When I first discovered scrapbooking, my oldest daughter was about 6 years old. Even though it's really hard to believe, she turned 21 this year. And today I am feeling especially thankful for our wonderful hobby that lets us record so many little memories through the years that fly by so fast!
There are so many different ways and perspectives you can tell a story from. But no matter of the style, format or design points of view, what is important is that little by little our stories are being told. One of my favorite things in scrapbooking is actually adding a newly finished layout to the album. And I love to see how our library of memories grows.
Anya here today, and I am sharing my latest layout I created using the gorgeous “Flower Market” collection. I absolutely adore the colors in this line! My story today I recorded on a 8.5x11” double page. I used the right side for larger photos and journaling and kept the left side in a pretty simple grid design. It gave me enough space to play and to record memories.
My grid side of the page spread was totally inspired by the “2x2 Squares” patterned paper. I cut these squares apart and trimmed them to just a bit smaller than 2”. To the grid with fun squares I added a few photos same size and to the side I added a black strip of paper with some fussy cut flowers to break a very “blocky” design.
Also, I wanted to add a little feminine touch to this layout by cutting the journaling strip in two pieces, punching holes in them side by side and using a crochet twine to tie these pieces together.
