variation on a theme

If you don’t think Trish’s kits are versatile…think again…today I will show you a different set of projects I did using the October add-on kit. You‘ve seen my layouts in the gallery…right…well if not go now and peek. Go look at ALL of them. Not just mine for goodness sakes. I mean, I have to say, if you don’t know already, I’m in company with some mighty talented designing ladies. It’s a bit nerve wracking every month laying my projects out there for all the world to see when I know WHAT they will be showed off with (sorry all you grammar teachers). But come on…you know what I mean…go look again…they do AWESOME work!

So, back to my original point: Trish and her versatile kits. Today I am here to show and tell about another set of layout projects that I did with the kit. There is plenty of fun and color on the designs already in the gallery, but then I wanted to change it up a bit. Wanting to use a lot of white, I kept the focus on the photos and on some photo editing creativity. This was a bit of stepping out from my traditional style. I used very little journaling. Really wanted the photos to tell their story. While using bits and pieces of the kit, it enabled a very different feel from the first set of layouts. The projects in the gallery were done using my “go-to” kraft cardstock, and a couple of them will end up in my son’s album. The ones here today are a more feminine feel, and obviously for my daughter’s album.



It’s always fun and highly recommended by me, to step out of the “same o’ same o’ “on occasion. Challenge yourself to take your supplies in a different direction from time to time and see what YOU come up with.

Have fun!
