Let's Just Go Layout/Nicole Martel

Happy Spring, friends! I've been enjoying this nice weather and so has my dog, Moxie. We take daily walks and it really makes me happy and helps relieve stress. Today, I'm sharing this springy layout using the Essentials Collection. And yes...there's stamping!

Since I had so many photos I wanted to use, I decided to create a grid design. This allowed me to use a variety of embellishments, too! Super fun.

I layered the tag, stickers and embellishments in the corner with a few sticker dots. Then, I used a black pen and ruler to doodle along the layout and sides of the grid.

I used a few Be ready transparent stickers from my stash, too. I just placed them over the photos!

To add dimension, I used foam squares to mount a few of the die cuts down.

Initially, I was going to leave the grid paper black and white, but I thought it made the layout too plain...with the colorful flowers. So...I grabbed my alcohol markers and colored in a row to use as a fun border for the bottom of the layout.

I added some stamping at the bottom and colored in the flowers with the same markers to fill in the white space. I'm totally loving how this turned out... the markers really helped make this layout pop!
