Third Thursday Scrapbook Stories: January Edition 2013

Katie is here today...it is already time for Third Thursday Scrapbook Stories!  I have to tell you...I am loving everything about this layout.  I adore the grid design that she tried out, and you know me, I don't think that you can ever have too many pictures on a page.  I am wondering if I can follow her directions and get a title to work like that for me....hmmmm.

Hi everyone!

Happy third Thursday of January :)

Today I am sharing a grid layout. I am loving these layouts lately, and have been pinning them like crazy! (Here, here, here and here)

So, in keeping with my 2013 goal of "try new things", I decided to try it out.


I'm happy with my layout. I really love the title. I opened my image in Word, placed a box over the bottom 1/4 of the image, reduced it to 50% transparency, then typed in my words. I love how it came out!

But, I have a confession to make. I made, what I consider, a mistake here. My tiles are a little too far apart. But that is okay, because it is a learning experience! Next time, my tiles will be closer together.

Do you ever see things you'd like to change after you make a layout? Do you go back and change it, or do you accept it as it is and learn for next time?

    Awesome! Love the grid design and that title is soooo cool!! I do make mistakes but I usually leave them! It's too much work for me to go back and re do them. Looks great Katie!

      Thank you! I always leave mine too. It is just too much work to go back!

    This is super cool! I love all the photos AND the title! I make and find mistakes all the time with my stuff but honestly, I'm just too lazy to go back and fix them. Ha!

    I always see things I want to change after I make a layout! Sometimes I change it and sometimes I just leave it!
    And so funny that two of the layouts you linked were mine because I was thinking "oh good some grid layout inspiration" You know how I love those grids!
    Thanks for the pins, Katie!
    And what a fun technique on your layout!

      I'll only change it if I notice mid-layout and my glue isn't too stuck down yet...

      That is too funny that you were looking for grid inspiration and you were my grid inspiration! I love it!

      You are very welcome for the pins, thank you for making such pin-able layouts!

    That is a really cool idea! I need to try doing something that way. Now I just need a good picture to mosaic...
