The Saturday Speical 7.30.11 – Themed Kits
Saturday, July 30th, 2011How often do we see a kit in the store and think, WOW, this kit has the perfect colors for certain photos you have don’t they don’t match the theme of the kit at all?!?
You would be surprised at all the different ways a kit can be used just by thinking a little outside of the box.
So many of the kits have several elements that can be used in a variety of ways. Themed…yes, but useful in so many other ways. So many times I see boys kits that are perfect colors of some pics I have of my daughter, or a summer kit that matches fall pictures I have. Use the colors of the kit to work to your advantage!
Here is an example of a layout I created using these very themed kits:
see how the colors match my photos perfectly, yet they clearly do not match the theme of the kits.
So remember, when you see a kit don’t let the name or theme scare you away. If you like it, challenge yourself to make it work for your pictures. You will love the creativity it takes and will probably love the page even more when you are done.
Here are some pages from our CT, using themed kits for their photos not the theme:
