Don't be Afraid....

If you purchased the full PML kit you will notice it comes with a cover page. This double sided, preprinted sheet is super cute and DOES NOT have to be only used for a cover sheet. Here I am using it for my layout!


In creating this page I came up with a few things to think about:

Don't be afraid to use a product for something other than we showcase it for!

Don't be afraid to use holiday/theme specific paper for other things (here I am using the chalkboard cover sheet and I covered the words that didn't work/fit my layout with my photos).

Don't be afraid to stamp right on your layouts! I know stamping can be scary and if you make a mistake you feel like you wasted your whole creation. But, everything can be fixed and most importantly...this is why our stamps are clear...so you can SEE exactly where you are stamping!

Don't be afraid to mix and match your stamp sets. I combined two here for my title and for some additional designs (the arrows and square boxes).
