Navigating the Scrapbook Grid

Welcome, Club Scrap Navigation Blog Hoppers!


The photo of Marilee has nothing to with the Navigation theme of the collection, however, I just like the color and style . . . so it works!

Simply trim a series of 1" squares from assorted papers in the collection. Crop a 5x7" photo to 5x6" and trim into 1" squares. Be sure to layer everything with several mats in contrasting colors and anchor the grid element with gold-edged satin ribbon.


The CS Grid Ruler is critical for maintaining equal spacing between 1" squares.


Apply a few dabs of adhesive from Club Scrap's handy Glue Pen to adhere the squares.


And finish up with a few embellishments from your stash.




Thank you for hopping with us. Next up is Debby at Masculine Inspirations in Paper Crafts.

Wishing you a very creative new year!
Kay

  10. Wonderful grid layout, Kay. I can never seem to get my squares to stay straight. I'll have to try the bookbinding glue and grid ruler next time.

    1. well, don't look to closely, my squares are not very straight either, however, I've come to the realization that we are all too hard on ourselves anyway haha, so they are good enough :) Also, I left 1/8" space between the squares, when I look at it today, wish I would have done more like 1/16" ....i guess we can always find something we want to change ha! But using the grid ruler is just the right tool for sure, of course.
