Unlikely Pairs: Beary Cute Baby Boy/Girl @ Happily Ever After | Digital Scrapbooking Kit Combinations

Hi all, Kimberly here with this weeks unlikely pairs.  When I create a digital scrapbook page I have the tendency to use one kit, which is fine but have you thought about using more than one kit?  I am going to show you some fun layouts that will help you stretch your mind and your stash this week.  The CT girls got together to create pages using two kits that you wouldn’t normally put together, they are:

Happily Ever After

Beary Cute Baby Boy

Here are the pages they came up with:

Lynette with Epiphanie

Mel created this adorable Princess page

Ophelia has this cute meeting with a princess

Here is with Melissa created: a sweet newborn page

So while you are shopping or just scrapping this weekend think of ways you can stretch your stash!  Have a great week!
