Hello all my artsy friends – and happy Wednesday! I have a quick tip for you today for finding coordinated elements and papers for a page. Have you ever come upon an older BYOC kit – maybe in the SOSN sale – that you really loved, but it didn’t include some must-have elements for you? Or maybe you need larger variation of elements, journal cards or papers than you would normally find in a kit (or even a super collab)? That happened to me this week with an awesome kit from Lynne-Marie (that happens to be in today’s SOSN sale). Take a peek at this page:
I loved the vintage, happy feel of the elements and papers in Annabelle by Lynne-Marie, but I needed some additional dimensional elements to fill out my page. I could have searched through all of my other kits to try and find coordinating elements, or grabbed some random elements and re-colored them. Instead, I decided to go in search of other BYOC kits from the same month (March 2013). This might seem like a daunting task, but it is actually super easy because all of the prior BYOC kits are still organized together in the Lilypad Store. Just click on BYOC – Past in the list on the left side of the storefront. This will open up a menu and you can then choose the month you want – all the way back to January 2012.
Kits from older BYOC’s find their way into the SOSN sales quite often. If you want to see other kits from the same collection just head on over to the BYOC – Past section and browse your month of choice. This part of the store is also quite helpful if you are looking for a varied and color-coordinated collection. If you click on my page above, you will see the full credits and find that I used two additional BYOC kits from March 2013 on my page (in addition to a fabulous template by Fiddle-Dee-Dee Designs that is also in today’s SOSN sale).
Don’t you just love it when things are that easy?
Until next time ~
Judie
