Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop
The theme this month is:
The theme for this month has been decided by the talented Julia Quinn.
For my scrapbook layout using a grid I thought I would make my layout to look like a quilt and use a photo of the scan of my third grandchild who is due to be born in October 2023. I decided on the quilt grid theme as my daughter-in-law is American and like a few of my other American friends absolutely loves quilts.
How I made my Scrapbook Layout using a Grid
I started by cutting a few sheets of the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper into 2″ squares. I laid them onto a 12×12 piece of Basic White card stock in a random order. Now I really struggle with doing anything random so I am sure that you can make a better layout. Once I was happy with the design I stuck each 2″ square onto the piece of Basic White card stock using Multipurpose Glue.
Next I cut some 1/2″ strips of 12×12 Night of Navy card stock and stuck them onto the edges of the squares to make it look like a quilt.
How I completed my Scrapbook Layout using a Grid
I then used a couple of the small cards from the Bright & Beautiful Memories and More pack. The Hip Hip Hooray one I cut down and mounted it onto a piece of Night of Navy card stock. I used one of the cards for the title and another one for my journaling. Again I stuck these onto a piece of Night of Navy. Finally I stuck the photo onto another piece of Night of Navy card stock.
I then laid these onto the scrapbook layout before sticking down.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing how I made my Scrapbook Layout using a Grid. Why not have a go yourself and pop a photo of what you have designed onto my Facebook page.

Good job on your patchwork scrapbook layout… Love all the colours that you have used…
YES me and random have trouble too, BUT I think you nailed it.
Love the baby photo and the Memories and More Cards worked a treat.
Thanks for joining Cheryl <3 Cheers Shaz
I love the optical illusion created by placing offset images against a straight grid. It reminds me of the effect you can get in quilting by using grids this way. Lovely layout!
