Versatility of TDC kits!

[chloe]

Have you seen the July collab "The Great Outdoors"?


Pretty themed, uh? At first I thought I'd never be able to use it, despite thinking it was the cutest kit ever, because I'm the least outdoorsy person you can think of. Well, guess which kit I used to create this LO:


That's right, this very outdoorsy/camping/forest, firecamp and dirt kit!

Now, your turn, do you have LOs that use a TDC themed kit in a non-themed LO? Like a girl kit on a boy LO, a birthday kit to scrap an everyday story, a circus-themed kit for a page about your beach vacation, ... Share them and inspired us with the versatility of TDC kits!!

awesome, Chloe!

A great way to change the look of a kit is to focus on one color, as I did here with the blues. And you can use blending modes to create new papers. For example, I used a dark blue starry paper for the background but blended it with a plain white cardstock to make it lighter. You can still see a hint of the stars and the blue but it's not as strong as the original paper.

Seriously, how do paper scrappers do it???

cool idea, Chloe! Gorgeous page, too!

That sounds like a great challenge! Take a kit and use it for something other than it's theme. LOVE your LO too.....so peaceful...and relaxing ......and wonderful.....!!

[chloe]

(Chloe, don't want you getting worried. I moved this over to "digital chicky chat" since it's about kits )

[chloe]

Good idea, Charla!!

I do this ALL THE TIME with papers! I love putting 2 (or 3 or 4) papers together to make a whole new paper. Great ideas here!

Fabulous, Chloe!

oooh that is amazing Chloe!! I would never have guessed it was from that kit!

I used Dawn by Design's The Christian Child kit for a starting school layout. The yellow in the kit made me think of the school colours - although it's a much nicer, much less brash yellow than the school picked!

[chloe]

I love it Jude! Christian Child is definitely a very versatile kit! I've had enough religious events to scrap recently so I only used it for those, but I can definitely imagine myself using it for other pages. The fact that a kit has some good basic papers and elements, especially a nice alpha and some flowers or buttons, maybe a couple tags, makes it even more versatile!

Fab challenge idea and layouts!

What a great thread, Chloe! And your layout is awesome. I just it to death.

Yours too, Jude! I love the yellows in that kit. Your page is beautiful!

[chloe]

Thanks girls!!
