My second kit was a challenge, I won't lie. But I'm getting ahead of myself. This is Studio Calico's "Roundabout" kit from June 2013:
This was... not my favourite kit. This was the second month of my brand new sub and I remember thinking quite clearly at the time "what did I get myself into?" Haha. Anyway. I find a travel theme challenging, as I don't actually travel very often. When I do, it's usually to visit my family so it doesn't feel like travelling, just like going home.
I embraced the challenge though. Here is what I had left of the kit to work with:
Sorry for the dark photo, it was late at night when I decided to tackle this one. As you can see, I had a lot of the kit left. I had that sheet of pretty cloud paper which was my first choice to use, which is why I decided not to use it. Breaking out of the comfort zone! So I decided to use the more neutral paper as a base, and got to work fussy cutting some arrows. Here is my finished page:
And guess what? I am pretty happy with it! I was not keen on those transparency overlays originally but they helped to add some fun colour to my photos. I pop-dotted some of the arrows for some dimension and I used the airmail twine as an accent in the empty corners.
Next up: I will be using the Roundabout add-on, Navy Pier! This one will be fun to go back to. As much as I didn't like the main kit, I looooved this add-on. :)
