Speaking of my own adjustments...funny story about at crop I went to. It was a kit crop at their store. I was with a friend and telling her an alteration I was making to the layout and another lady across from me corrects me on what I did wrong. I was irritated, but polite. Then I made another variation to their layout and the woman who had corrected me noticed, but this time she was like :i'm going to do that too." I wanted to laugh to bad!
Okay back to this layout. This layout is not too "matchy matchy." Like same layout on both sides with slight embellishment variations. The kit cake with everything you see. It also comes with a layout sketch instruction sheet. I always keep these in a file for future layout ideas. You will also get a photograph of the full layout so that you know where the embellishments are placed. And in almost every kit you end up with extras. There ones I had from this were enough to make a matching card, so that was a plus!
The variations/alterations I made when creating my layout was the 2 X 2 pictures. I didn't have any photos that were good for cutting down to that size. I really liked the lines on the card so I thought I would just use it for some journaling. Journaling was something I use to really struggle with. Okay...I still do. I do not care for my hand writing. I do have a private journal so it is not the coming up with what to say that I struggle with. I have a problem with the pressure to not mess up what I am writing and ruin the whole page haha!
I encourage if you do not already to start smudging or inking the edges. I like to use the chalk ink. for this layout I chose branch bark. I also used my Elmer's glue runner on everything. I decided not to pop dot anything because I felt with all the different sizes of photos it had dimensions.
I will post other kits I do as well in other posts. I will try to do ones they are currently selling in case you really like them.
