Sometimes there are some really BUSY patterned papers, and I get so intimidated by them that I only use a little bit of them here and there. But I decided to try and get out of this rut by challenging myself to use a lot more of a busy print.
I used this bright colored, overlapping polka dots paper from the American Crafts Dear Lizzy Day Dreamer line. I cut the paper and an angle and used big chunks of them on the side and bottom. I kept embellishments around my photos minimal, so as not to distract any more from the photos themselves.
