lovebirds layout…

When I have a lot of fun embellishments I want to use on a layout, I love to create grid layouts like this one. The entire layout was created with elements from the “lovebirds” line by Doodlebug and was published on their blog here.

By cutting several fun patterned papers into 3" squares, I created six mini canvases to embellish!

I used stickers

washi tape

jewels

tags

and more on each square.

I added machine stitching to every square for continuity.

Then I simply filled in the empty squares with a few instagram photos!
