Member Challenge | terriblygreat

This week, our member Joyce wants you to create a project with a grid! Our members are so talented and we love seeing your work in the gallery! Check back each week as we ask one of our members to inspire you with a challenge based on one of their projects from our member gallery. Be sure to visit Joyce in the member gallery to see more of her work.


Hi, everyone! It's Joyce here with another challenge. My Wow You're 2! layout is one I did for The Summer of Sketch class. I often suffer from "analysis paralysis" so sketches and challenges really help me focus and give me a starting point. The original challenge was to use more than four patterned papers, but for me I really enjoyed the grid layout and now it's my favorite layout to work with.

I feel like the grid layout allowed me to use more pictures than I normally would have and I was able to use over nine patterned papers without looking too overdone. I like how keeping the pattern paper squares anchors my non uniform sized photos. Needless to say I'm hooked and I can't wait to make my next grid layout.

So my challenge to you is to show me your grids!! Whether it be on a card or a scrapbook layout like I did. I can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Now it’s your turn to create a project based on Joyce's challenge! Share your new project for the challenge in the Studio Calico gallery (add the hashtag #SCchallenge to make it easier to find!), then link up your project in the comments of this post by July 11 to be entered to win a $5 gift card to the Studio Calico Shop! This week's challenge winner will be announced in the July 16 Layout of the Week post.

    Here is my grid inspired by the original "Inked" class. I started by altering a few journal cards with Watercolors And a pair of scissors.
