On this page we decided to "let the paper do the work". Kel brilliantly thought we should let the paper work as an embellishment too! With the simple addition of chipboard let to this busy paper, this page layed out itself. I am sure we all have buckets of chipboard and never find the right piece of paper to adhere it too. But putting it on busy piece of paper, really lets the chipboard shine. The 4th July circle came from Dawn, so cute.

this was fun to make. I have soooo many pieces of busy paper and I will pull it out and say "eh, that paper is too cute to cut up or use" LOL. Life's too short, use your paper! LOL
ReplyDeleteNice - with this paper you don't need a lot of embellishment and how quick and cute is this?? ~ Blessings, Tracey

I have to TOATLLY agree with this post! I have tons a crazy busy paper and just don't know what to do with it ~ EVER! GREAT and CLEVER idea! Great layout too! I seem to add so much to stuff!! Thank You for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see that the paper really is doing the work; however, the arranging and laying out is what really makes this an awesome layout!!! It looks terrific!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Can't wait to see what pic you use on it! I actually used this tip last night. I had a single pre-printed photo with a busy border and some theme park tickets to go with it, so I just used one piece of patterned cardstock under it and then just added a couple of buttons and a tag. Thanks for the great tip! You can see the LO here:

ReplyDeleteGreat page! The paper really does speak for itself. The little chipboard and Dawn's circle are fabulous touches that don't take over. Well done!
