Today I come to you guys with a new Basic Grey page. I absolutely fell in love with this page as soon as I saw it! What a perfect layout showing the accomplishments of a young child, working hard towards one more step in the growing up process. Everyone goes through these moments. So whether it’s a first day of school, a loose tooth etc. this layout is perfect for those major accomplishments. In the layout and directions below, you put different letters from the Lime Rickey monogram stickers, and put them onto the 7â€x12†piece of Deep Blue. This works great for the school related pages, but what takes away from the point of other non-school related accomplishments. My suggestion? Instead use a favorite stamp and lime green paint, or some other element stickers. That way you still have the cute, and innovative background paper, while not distracting the viewer from the real theme of your page! Enjoy Scrappers!
