Pretty fabulous, right? And some of the girls admitted to having a bit of trouble with this line. Here are a few pointers...1. It was created by someone...they know what they are talking about! Meaning...this line was created to go together, and as you can see, it does. You sometimes just have to let go of what you think you know and throw caution to the wind, and just CREATE!!
2. Use it in small doses...chop it up!! Sometimes when I am faced with BOLD, COLORFUL papers I create layouts with strips. See Melanie's layout The Fair.
3. You can never go wrong with a grid layout!! This line is just perfect for Aphra's sketch this month. Again it is in small doses, but it a more uniformed, organized fashion. See Jenny's layout Navy Pier and Lan's layout Mail Time.
4. And when in doubt, you can ALWAYS make a card! See Melanie's card It's Your Birthday.
Hope this helps...try something new! Give it a try!

Thanks for the great tips, Frances! What makes you think any of us have ever been afraid of paper? (haha, raising my hand now...)
ReplyDeleteThese LOs and cards are great! I love seeing all the different takes on the same papers! Even the 2 LOs which use the big ferris wheel paper are different and cool!
