September Grid Challenge by Sue

I was more than happy to tackle this one! The grid design is one of my favorites, so I challenged myself to do something a little different...a little outside the box, so to speak.

This 7 Gypsies paper was already divided into squares, so I just cut a bunch into smaller pieces and pieced everything together like a puzzle. The result? Way too busy!

So I randomly removed some of the squares to expose more white space. The grid is still there, but some of it is now implied. I think it looks more playful this way, supporting the photos and theme of this page.

A title, a bit of journaling, and a few brads. Done!

Now it's your turn to take the September Grid Challenge. See all the details HERE. Be sure to scroll down the page - Scrap Our Stash posts something new every day.

    Your final layout is wonderful! I love what the white space and the letters layered on top do to your layout.

    You nailed it. So helpful to see your process, the before and after. Makes a real point about all this "white space" everyone talks about! LOL!

    Love the "implied" grid look and it does give your look a more playful feel. Very nice colorful layout!
