Tip From Melissa: "I LOVED this kit the minute I laid my eyes on the paper! The colors coordinate so well together and I immediately thought of pictures of my girls to work with the fresh, stylish lines. I had a difficult time choosing which papers to use for this kit. They were all so fun! All of the combinations I put together as I worked with the pages looked good. I finally picked what's seen on the layout because those papers reminded me of my daughters' personalities.

I used a transparency for my journaling - it's my latest favorite technique! You can get the full impact of the background paper and keep your focus on the photos that way. I set my printer to transparency and let the ink dry for a few hours before I "set" it with my heat embosser. It takes a long time for printing on transparencies to dry. You can sprinkle clear embossing powder on the transparency and emboss your journaling for another look for variety.

The tacks and rivets were the perfect accents to use. My youngest daughter loves purple so I used them in lots of places on my layout. I added the fiber because I am a fiber addict and it worked perfectly with these yummy papers."
