I’ve been trying my hand at the Cathy Zielske style of hybrid layouts. It’s so fun to try something new and find ways to put my own twist on it!
- Design Inspiration: I created this layout following the process and design from Week 2 of Clean & Simple the workshop.
- Color Inspiration: I just love turquoise, pink, and green. Seemed like I should use some favorite colors on a layout about our blessings!
When I am using a sheet of pattern paper to create a border around the page I hate wasting all that paper behind the top layer. So I often will cut out the center of the background paper. In this case I left a 1 inch border around the edges but cut out the center. Then I use some washi tape to attach the top layer to the background frame. Now I have the center piece of pattern paper to use again on another layout!
I love Cathy Z’s clean and simple design but I just can’t keep from adding a few embellishments, and of course washi tape! You know how I love washi!
I’m not usually one to mix color and black and white photos. But I loved the way it looked on Cathy Z’s example layout so I gave it a try. And it really turned out great! And now, here is the full layout again so you can read the journaling.
Having so much fun in this class! I’m a little behind on the assignments though. Hoping to have some time next week to get caught back up!
