Good morning, everyone! I was on the Clique Kits Blog yesterday sharing another project I made with the Northern Light kit - this time it was a layout. I also shared a few of my favorite scrap tips - definitely nothing revolutionary, but just little things that I like to do when creating.
1. Bold patterns scare me. I adore them, but I never know how to use them without my page getting too busy. I'm really a white background, white space kinda girl. However, when I find a pattern that I adore and just *HAVE* to use, I usually cut it into a strip and use it as the anchor for my design. In this case, I used half of the paper I loved...this helps me feel like the paper isn't overwhelming my project.
2. Keep the rest of your design simple when using a bold pattern. Without the bold background, my page would be pretty blah. But paired with a simple design, the bold pattern becomes a great accent - and I actually really like how the page turned out.
3. Use embellishments in threes to make invisible triangles all over your page. 3 tags, 3 sets of enamel dots, 3 groups of mists, 3 strips of washi...you get the idea :)
Like I said, nothing earth-shattering here, but hopefully something you may find at least a little bit helpful! Thanks for stopping in!
