Bright + Colorful Layout

Nothing says happy, like a fun new collection from Crate Paper!  The Good Vibes collection brings lots of bright colors and totally cute embellishments.  Some of my favorites are the cork pieces, frames and stickers.  I went through the collection and pulled out all of the things that caught my eye, and used them to create a layered grid design on my layout.

I used some of the larger ephemera pieces with one of the chipboard frames to create the shape of the grid.  I love the look of a free-form grid on my layouts.  Once I had the pieces in place for the grid, I placed my photo at the top left.  I printed it in black and white, because I wanted the contrast against the colors in the collection.  Then I used one of the frames around the photo and adhered it with pop dots for dimension.

Next, I embellished the two frames and tag that made up the rest of the grid.  I used the High Five Puffy Thickers for my title and layered it over the kraft tag.  How cute is it, with the tiny holes punched in it??!!  I need about 10 more of those!!  In the two frames, I added a sticker and ephemera piece, keeping the embellishing on those more on the simple side. 

I finished the layout with some more embellishing around the photo.  I love all of the different texture from the chipboard, ephemera, cork and puffy stickers.  And the balance of the layout worked out great with more embellishing added to the upper left and lower right of the page, while the upper right and lower left has minimal embellishing.

You can check out all that’s included in the Good Vibes collection on the Crate Paper Blog.  I can’t wait to use it for more upcoming layouts, and I hope you’ve been inspired today with some ideas for using the collection on your projects!
