Chance to win

Hop on over to www.cincinnaticoupons.net for a chance to win a really cool album kit by polka dot and paisley!!! The kit is from the Cosmo Cricket Material Girl line. It is just about the prettiest thing I have ever seen.

Experimenting with color

I have really enjoyed working with the new Cosmo Cricket lines: Material Girl and Garden Variety. Often, I am unsure on how to use colors. But a little trick I have learned is to use the coordinating papers in one line to compliment one another. I use to try to mix and match different lines. I would buy single papers that I liked. But now I just buy whole lines that I like. Some might think I am an idiot but I am still just learning the basics of scrapbooking.
Another thing, I am learning is to experiment layering with geometric shapes.
The following layouts show how I tried different shapes, patterns and colors. I think it turned out ok.
