Using the leftover paper strips

There are always tons of leftover papers on scrapbooker’s desks.

And we are often under a lot of stress when we don’t know how to purge and organize them.

But leftover papers are one of my favorite ways to add awesome pattern combinations and layering.

Let me show you an easy way to incorporate leftover papers into a layout.

If you want to see the process, go check it out!!

I think February is the most sweet season. right?

I loved tons of heart, heart, heart! in Gossamer Blue February kits.

especially "Love you more" line of Elle's studio.

Those are very simple and soft in pink, yellow and green.

And I used lots of die cuts and Journaling tags of "Love you more" in my life pages.

It made my spread so sweet. :)

small tags and labels of Elle's Studio are perfect for simple layering.

And I tried to cut some Journaling tags to put into 4*4 pockets.

love the soft tones and cute heart motif

in Gossamer Blue's February kits and Elle's studio's Love you more!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy blog hopping! :)

2013 Layout : Red & Green

I don't like the color scheme of red and green.

Usually it's reminds me of the Christmas season.

So I think there are no imagination, no creativity in the color combo.

But I saw the gorgeous red and green papers and pieces in Gossamer blue kits

and these colors broke my prejudices for Red & Green.

I really enjoyed to play around with Red and Green on this layout. :)

2013 Layout : Fly to the sky

This layout was made by various tags and labels from Elle's Studio and Amy Tan.

I built the layers of these tags and it's so simple and easy method to make fun layout.

Gossamer Blue October kits

This spread was made using Gossamer Blue October Kits

There are many cool brands in October Kits

- Amy Tan, Glitz design, Elle's studio, Close Knit, Pebbles.

These are all new brands to me except Crate Paper.
