Good morning, everyone!  Kat here popping in to share a layout that I recently made with the Northern Lights kit.  I don’t really have any earth-shattering techniques for you today, but I do have a few tips that I always use to help in creating my scrap projects.

1.  Bold patterns scare me.  I adore them, but I never know how to use them without my page getting too busy.  I’m really a white background, white space kinda girl.  However, when I find a pattern that I adore and just *HAVE* to use, I usually cut it into a strip and use it as the anchor for my design.  In this case, I used half of the paper I loved…this helps me feel like the paper isn’t overwhelming my project.

2.  Keep the rest of your design simple when using a bold pattern.  Without the bold background, my page would be pretty blah.  But paired with a simple design, the bold pattern becomes a great accent – and I actually really like how the page turned out.

3.  Use embellishments in threes to make invisible triangles all over your page. 3 tags, 3 sets of enamel dots, 3 groups of mists, 3 strips of washi…you get the idea 🙂

I hope you have found some of my tips a little bit helpful – thanks for stopping by!!
