Pretty Paper Party Prompt 2

Another prompt from Shimelle's class was to create a layout with the background being made completely from patterned paper. I was a little nervous about it, but once I found a sketch to use and started playing with the paper I fell in love. I love that it is a bit more busy than my other layouts. I love the die cuts. I'm always such a literal scrapper that if I see a dinosaur die-cut I think I have to wait to make a page about dinosaurs before I can use it. It is freeing to use what you have and love. I also tend to keep the things I just bought for a little while before I use them. I think that's common with us paper hoarders! Well, this scallop border was in a sheet of die cuts that had never even been put away it was so new! Talk about liberating! I think this class is helping me to realize the longer you keep something the more likely it is to go out of style, so use it while it's hot!





Thanks for looking!
