Tailor Made

Ok, I bought this Simply Scrappin Kit because I thought it would be good for some more masculine pages. So, I looked for some of my husband's photos to work with.

I started with his 25 year High School Reunion. I hate working with photos of events that I was not at or I don't know all the people (this case is the latter). So, I kept journaling to a minimum hoping that the pictures will tell enough of the story.

I love textured paper. I was slow to warm up to the idea, being so much in love with the smooth card stock. Now I wish the new catalog carries more options for textured cardstock. At least all the SS kits have textured cardstock.

The Tailor Made colors I focused on were Not Quite Navy and Sahara Sand. I pulled in just a hint of the Always Artichoke and Chocolate Chip in some accents. I also used the Vanilla Hodge Podge, since there was a die cut stickers that fit that shape. SInce I had one piece of Hodge Podge, why not throw in a second. I also used some of the fancy brads from the set.
