PRIZE CHALLENGE...Taking a "new" look at CHIPBOARD & BUSY PAPER.............

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.



Check out last Sunday's post for the challenge and prize!

  5. Yes, 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!!!

  6. Love 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:
