Brighter Days Ahead Layouts
 

Ok, so I'll admit. I have a tough time scrapping with store collabs sometimes. ;)

I know some others do also, after reading the Sweet Shoppe Saturday thread.
I thought it might be a good motivator to scrap with Brighter Days Ahead if we had a thread to show off what we've done with it!

I used Cindy's template and a mix of everything else lol!

Have you scrapped yet?

Ooooh great idea, I've been hoping to see some pages with this one.

That's beautiful, Nikki!

Thank you! I may have overpiled ellies, but I kept going anyway. ;)

Beautiful Nikki! I have an idea of what to do with this kit, but it probably won't happen until at least tomorrow. I'll be sure to come back here and show it off when I'm done, though. :)

That's gorgeous Nikki!!! I was thinking today of what I wanted to scrap with it. I've got too much going on today so there will be no scrapping...but hopefully tomorrow I'll have time!!

Thanks for starting this thread! I have the hardest time with big collabs too! I haven't downloaded yet, but once I use it, I'll post.

That's so beautiful, Nikki! :D And not overloaded with ellies at all :)

I'll be back tomorrow with a layout hopefully, I have a lot of scrap therapy that is needed right now LOL.

Great layout, Nikki!

this kit is amazing.
here's mine...

Gorgeous layouts! I can't wait to scrap with this kit - hopefully tomorrow!

Stunning LOs! I love the way your colors came together, Heather! I could scrap 10 LOs with this kit and never have any of them be as vibrant as yours.

I have a hard time working with huge collabs, too, so I went trolling the gallery for inspiration a few hours ago. I only found Nikki's and 1 other, so this thread was a great idea. I'm scrapping with it now, but I probably won't finish until at least tomorrow.

Great idea to start this thread and love seeing the layouts so far!

These are awesome ladies!

Wow, great layouts!
Good idea too because I couldn't see anything in it after I bought the kit yesterday....it's just not my colour, hihi. But now I am going to give it a try!

Here is one that I did - I also seem to have a hard time with certain kits like this. I did find that with this particular kit changing the photo to black and white helped a lot.

Now, I'm still very much a novice at digi scrapping and I haven't quite gotten the knack of layering elements, but I'm working at it - LOL.

It is a beautiful layout Marie! Well done!

Wow, Marie - you did an amazing job! And that's a wonderfully journaled page! Love it!

Stunning layouts ladies! I have a few layouts I want to complete today, one of them using this kit. I'll post when finished.

I'll second Darcy's comment-fabulous journaling! I love the LO.

Beautiful LOs everyone! Great job!
Here's one from me:

Amazing journaling Marie. I'm all teared up!

I did a 2 pager with it!

absolutely gorgeous pages ladies!!!

Finally finished the one I was working on.

gorgeous pages ladies! while we were working on this kit I didn't really "see" it as purple/pink...I really thought it was more about the neutrals...but now seeing all these pages with the purple/pink I'm going to have to look at the preview again! hehe

I think changing the photos to b&w is really helping..unless you have the perfect colors in your photos. :)

I just wish there were solids! The kit is amazing, and of course I picked it up, but I have a hard time scrapping without solids. Thanks for the inspiration ladies. :thumbup:

Kim, I think some of the subtle patterns in this kit can work well where you need some solids. I've tried it on my Project 365 weekly layout, was thinking the same like you but it worked well.

I'm with you! I mined every bit of solid I could from it, LOL. Flergs contributed the solid pink and a brown that looks solid in small amounts, and I faked peach and white solids by cutting solid sections out of Amy Wolff's gradient paper and Valorie Wibbons's butterfly paper.

Here's one that I did:

Wonderful layouts, ladies.

wow ladies love the layouts...

I am seriously overwhelmed by all of the amazing papers in this kit! It was so hard for me to choose!

This is me! I bought it and I am normally not a fan of some of those colors. I just got it because it benefited Zoe. Now I am going to give it a shot because of all of these beautiful pages!!!!

More beautiful LOs! I'd like to do a few more, but I have way too many LOs planned for the actual time I'll have to scrap them. :(
