MME Kate & Co for Scrapdoodles

 

I have two layouts up on the Scrapdoodles blog today! Be sure to swing by and check out the challenge that I've posted too! You could be eligible to win a $5 Scrapdoodles gift card.

I have two layouts which I created using Kate & Co from My Mind's Eye. One of which, is a boy layout!! Even with the teal and hot pink and girlie embellishments, I was able to create a boy layout! Do you remember the Project Life layouts I have shared recently? Yes, well, Scrapdoodle's has created a monster out of me. I have a yet another Project Life inspired layout to share with you!

Thanks to the hot pink in the picture of the boys' names on their dorm room door, I was able to incorporate the pink of the collection into this layout! Each collection comes with plenty of bits and pieces that aren't overly floral or girlie that you can make it work for a boy.

One of the instructor's, Tessa, recently taught a class with a chalkboard technique at the store. This is my title block of the layout, inspired by Tessa's chalkboard effect. I even used chalkboard cardstock for the added effect. Thanks Tessa for the inspiration!

Kate & Co has a lot of great embellishment's that accompany the patterned papers.

Up next, an 8.5x11 inch layout. Again using Kate & Co by My Mind's Eye. Lots of layers here.

Patterns galore! It's okay to use lots of patterns in one small space! By using small snippets of each pattern, you calm things down and contain the busy-ness of each individual pattern. The solids of the yellow and teal of the title help tie everything together.

A small detail featured here is the use of jump rings to hang the banners from twine from The Twinery.

Share your creation inspired by my challenges in the comments of my Scrapdoodles blog post (link to a blog or gallery) and maybe, just maybe, I might find a $5 Scrapdoodle's gift card for one lucky random poster. Have fun creating! I can't wait to see how you step up to the challenge!
