A Grid Layout

I wanted to play along with this week's challenge on the Studio Calico blog: Create a project using a grid design.

I kind of love the way it turned out.  Simple, simple, just photos and story.

The title was stamped and colored with watercolor paints.

Each of the journaling squares was stamped with a number stamp, using very light colored ink, and then I painted the photo squares with orange watercolor paint.

Here's what the layout looked like before I added the photos:

I almost didn't want to put the photos on!  It just looked so darn cool like this!

I used to find so much inspiration in being forced to use certain products.  Nowadays I find freedom in not having to use any!  I am on an ever evolving artistic journey and this is just another step in my travels!

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I thought that this post by Kayla Lamoreaux on the Scrapbook Update blog was really interesting.  It's all about creative burnout.
