Default Show me...

Layouts that use a patterned paper as the background. It can be your layout or someone else's, I don't care. I have scrapper's block when it comes to using patterned papers in large doses. I really want to. I just can't. So help me out!

great inspiration Ladies!! I find myself staying away from busy/patterned background papers but find myself always commenting on how great everyones looks when they use it! I just can't seem to use a patterned paper unless it's a soft pattern.

perhaps we need a challenge to use bold bold bold papers LOL.... maybe then I'd get brave!!
