As a scrapbooker, you should, in my opinion, constantly challenge yourself to try new things. I do that as often as I can. So one thing that bugs me about my self, is I tend to stay true to the BRIGHT colors mixed with a nice neutral....
SO I get a couple kits everymonth one of which is Scrapbook Circle. I find Lisa has similiar taste as I do, BUT she keeps great balance. IN this months kit are some more "vintage" looking colors (not only vintage) but she mixed in a line I have been drooling over (Hopscotch- Basic Grey) NOW when I set out to create this layout, I was all about highlighting the Hopscotch,what happened is because I challenged myself to use products from the KIT, I ended up with the fun layout. I love it because I was able to scrap a photo of me when I was little... SO enjoy and step outside your normal choices-- colors, style, whatever, OH and check out Scrapbook Circle right here
