June is almost over and the focus will be on all the cool creations using the vintage inspire July kit … but before we say goodbye to June, let’s look at some more layouts by Grace using the June main kit. We’re ga-ga for Grace. She’s so talented.

"Be Yourself" by Gracel Tolman
“This page was inspired by the Basic Grey paper that was in the kit. The beehive pattern inspired me to make my pattern paper background and the “bee” was a great jump start for my journaling and title. The beehive pattern also gave me the opportunity to use up all the pattern papers in the kit.

They were all so gorgeous and hard to resist that I wanted them all in this page. I created balance by having the pattern pieces towards the left side and a vertical stretch of pictures on the right and then connecting them all with the sheer ribbon.”

"Nature" by Grace Tolman
“Here I wanted to feature the fun monogrammed letters exclusive to the Crazy Daisy kit. One trick that I just stumbled upon is layering F and L on top of each other to create an E. I thought it was an easy and fun trick. You can’t hardly tell it was two different letters combined. I created a visual triangle between the photo corners and the scallop strip on the right edge. I covered some of the Basic Grey chipboards with pattern paper then trimmed and distressed the edges.

One trick I did with this was actually adhere the sticky side (back side) of the chipboard to the pattern paper instead of the front side. This way you know that every part of the chipboard are adhered onto the paper because the adhesive’s already there. I painted the swirly chipboard shape brown to create my flower stem. To finish off the flowers, I added a button in the middle.”
Definitely GaGa for Grace!
She is awesome & so creative with her pages.
