I wanted to scrap my son's 4 year old portraits and so I took the shirt that he was wearing and scanned it on my scanner, printing out my own designer paper to use on my layout. This saved me a ton of time searching through my stash looking for just the right colors to match the pictures-- the paper was already perfect!
For other papers I did stick to the main colors in the plaid print and also added some buttons that look just like the ones on his shirt.
Supplies used:
Bo Bunny Double Dot cardstock
My Mind's Eye Fine & Dandy True Blue papers (orange)
Bo Bunny Ad Lib papers (Green lined and banner circles)
Tim Holtz Distress Ink-- Faded Jeans
Miscellaneous buttons
Divine Twine Grey
Metal Charm
Glue Dots
