Documenting Daily Life with Daily Grind

Hi everyone! Lisa here with you today to share some layouts I made with the fabulous Daily Grind collection. You'll notice a lot of layering on my pages — not just papers, but embellishments too. OK, mostly embellishments. :) Part of what I love about scrapbooking is finding the "right" combination of embellishments to help tell the story. Simple Stories offers a wide variety of embellishments so there are endless possibilities when it comes to combining them.

This first page, called The Everyday, details my daughter's current daily routine. Circles punched from the Pieces of Flair Paper are mixed with the round Fundamental Cardstock stickers and placed around the page. A 3x4 Journaling Card, stitched to the page, houses a journaling tag.

Here's a look at the embellishment cluster in the top left corner of the page. Fundamental Cardstock stickers are mixed, and layered, with chipboard and pieces from the Ephemera pack.

This next page is called The Reading Room and it documents my daughter's love of reading. I layered journaling spots from the Ephemera pack and trailed them down the page.

Here's a closer look:

I hope these pages inspire you to look at your embellishments in a new way and to use them to create layered clusters on your projects.

I would never have thought to put so many embellishments on one layout, but because embellishments and papers are all coordinated this LO is terrific.

Terrific pages. I love the way you used a circle punch on the Flair paper to add even more embellishments to the page. Great idea!
