Together

I started this layout the other day. I was inspired by Cosmo Cricket's blog (you can go there by clicking the cosmo logo on the right). Julie posted a challenge to create a page using all green Cosmo papers. My newest Cosmo hadn't arrived yet and I was looking at the stuff from my 2peas order. I realised how much teal I had. I thought I'd give teal a try. I wanted to make a 100% teal page at first, but it was too blah. I decided it was okay to add black and white to the mix because they aren't really colours, they're tones or whatever. That was my reasoning anyhow. I LOVE how this page turned out. It's so simple and eyecatching. I did two things on here I wouldn't normally do. The white patterend paper is cardstock - I stamped it to make my own pattern. I also doodled borders around most of the paper pieces. I had a really hard time trying to make things tie together and the doodled border really made it all cohesive.
