Hello! I did some more scrapping – this time one of the page kits I bought in January from Hey Little Magpie – and although the layout stayed similar in terms of the sketch I totally changed the page by changing the background from a white 12×12 to grey. I’ve saved the white piece for using with leftovers and instead made what was quite a romantic page into something a bit more masculine to fit the photo of my hubby!
The papers retain the cheerful feel but I added in the modeling paste brick stencilling and lots of dark grey splatters to grunge up the page.
The picture is of my hubby in the Valhalla bar in York enjoying a pint after we had been out in the rain most of the day walking the walls around York.
I brought in the mixed alpha from an old papermania masculine set but mixed in with the cute glossy puffy stickers from the original kit it still works well.
A fun page and really enjoyed mixing up the kit to make it feel very different from the original inspiration.
This is why I love page kits – you can totally go with the original design – you can mix it up and do something different but keeping with the sketch – or just do your own thing with the kit and go your own way completely!
Happy crafting!

Fab page – the grey background works do well against the masculine colours
