Grid inspiration......with San Francisco street art

I had a pretty busy weekend and didn't manage to catch many of  Jennifer's 'Focus your Craft and Soul' posts live.....so I've been catching up a bit this week......there's so much inspiration there.....but her use of a grid really caught my attention.
I took so many photos in San Francisco when Rinda took us for a walk round all the street art in the Mission district......I wanted to be able to include a few photos on a scrapbook page....so using a grid seemed perfect.
The rest of the photos from that morning will probably go into page protectors.....rather than onto pages.
The art on the buildings and walls was totally amazing.....as was the burrito that we had for lunch.
It was sad to hear though that the area is being 'gentrified' and the real locals can no longer afford to live here....we actually heard this complaint frequently while in San Francisco.....doesn't just happen in the UK then!
Many thanks to Rinda for showing us round this amazing area....we would never have known to visit it as 'tourists'.

Love this layout! The grid is perfect. I spent several days in San Francisco when Sarah lived nearby, but never got to the Mission District. It's on my bucket list.
