Grids or Messy layers?

I saw this great sketch at Studio Calico and decided to give a grid a try.  I have gotten away from grids and linear layouts, but sometimes they are just fun, especially when you have some new great products to use!

And just in case here is a layered layout that I have been doing lately.  I have decided I am going to start stamping so I bought this great set from Scraptastic - love the stars!

Either way, there is plenty of white space on both layouts to make even me happy!  :)
