When I decided to scrap my sister’s college graduation, I was drawn to the sheet of “Bookshelf” paper in Little Yellow Bicycle’s “Making the Grade” line. I thought the row of books were a good representation of her years of hard work in achieving her goal. However, I thought the row of printed alphabets was a bit too juvenile for my college grad theme. Quick fix…top the row of alphas with a strip of another patterned paper to mature the whole feel of my page. To compliment the row of patterns at the bottom, I also chose to add a couple of coordinating strips at the top of my page.<\/p>\n

Don’t let one element on an item deter you from using it. Be creative!<\/p>\n
