Hello everyone!!
I am still working with the Simon Says Stamp Card Kit of the Month kit, but this time we are actually making a 12x12 layout! The colors in this kit are so bright and colorful, I just love them. I pulled out a photo from the late 1990s to mix with these bright colors to liven up the photo even though it's a little on the dull side color-wise. Here's how it turned out...
I am using a piece of white cardstock for the majority of the background with a little bit of a blue patterned paper border to pull in a little color, but keeping it from being overwhelming. This blue patterned paper is from 2009 (Belle Blvd Plastino collection Forget-Me-Nots paper) - a great way to use older papers!!
Make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can follow along with me using this kit as well as reviewing lots of other kits. Also make sure you go to my Resource Guide to download the PDF document I've put together to help with your kit shopping!
