31 Pages in 31 Days: Eat Cake Birthday Page

2015 31 Pages in 31 Days SOMHS header-001

I had fun with today's inspiration page! I took the geometric theme from the patterned papers and ran with it for the layout. I think it's perfect for those occasions when you need to make a whole page for an event, but you only have one or two photos. I can see this layout working for a 1st driver's license photo, too. The grid is made up of 2-inch squares on a solid sheet of Tangelo Twist, then mounted on a 12×12 base of Basic Black. The other colors were Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, Basic Gray and Delightful Dijon.

Lots of details on this one… I originally planned for each square to have something, but it was getting too busy, so I layered on a few Whisper White journalling boxes, some punched arrows to focus attention on the main photo, and a couple of journalling prompts from the Remember This Project Life by Stampin' Up stamp set.

Kind of rare for me not to include any textiles on a page! But the Candy Dots and raised embossing add texture, and there's plenty of pattern, so I guess we can do without ribbon or twine on ONE page once in a while!
