Have fun mixing up matching colour groupings from your stash and incorporate it with new paper. In my Boy is Defined in Moments layout I used the following:
Papers, Basic Grey, Bo-Bunny and orange cardstock base
Chipboard from Scenic Route and rub-ons are Pink Paslie.
Fun and simple layout. You can find these great "Scenic Route" papers in the store too. Mix up a large dot pattern, smaller mix pattern and stripe with same colours to pull it all together. Using paper from the same line will help to make it work without a traditional plain cardstock base. I cut out the rulers from a 7 gypsy 12x12 paper at the store and I will get a lot of use out of it even for cards too. Chipboard wrench is basic grey, I inked it blue to match the ink used on edging.
Simple and sweet, allows us to use a lot of pics and not have the layout too busy. These papers are from Sonic Route and I used a chipboard title I had in my stash for years....in fact bought this glitter title when I first started scrapbooking. ;-)
Enjoy and happy scrapbooking!
