Template Tuesday : Lynn Grieveson

Hello there, Polly StefanieS here with a step by step layout I created using a template by Lynn Grieveson Designs. (You can find all of her templates in store here.) I love browsing Lynn’s store gallery, she is an amazing designer and also an amazing scrapbooker in her own right.

I started with a template in the new Hear My Voice 11: Growing collaboration with Rachel Jefferies.

I simply adore multi-photo layouts, they tell a richer story to me and I am definitely of the “more is more” mindset.

I popped in my photos, wanting to give a snapshot of life right now and what sparks joy to me.

Next I added papers to the paper layers and also to the paint and washi tape layers.

I added labels to each photo and a little notation of what it was that I was happy about. I made sure to add the date as well.

Then I went to town adding dimensional goodies and the finishing touches.

It still brings a smile to my face. I need an almost daily reminder to look for the good, to delight in the small details and to savour and enjoy the pieces of my life that are really good.

I hope that this inspires you, you could

  1. clip papers to paint
  2. add labels to each photo
  3. take 5 photos of everyday things that make you happy
  4. showcase the season that you’re in (summer and almost empty nester)
  5. cat paws/pause – his quirky behaviour.

 

 

 

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
