Use It All August: Blue Skies Ahead by ScrapChat Designs

Use It All August: Blue Skies Ahead

This month we’re working with the Blue Skies Ahead Sampler by ScrapChat Designs, a cheerful mini filled with fresh greens, sunny yellows, sweet florals, and pieces perfect for documenting bright days, garden moments, outdoor memories, hopeful stories, simple joys, and all the little moments that feel like a fresh breath of air.

Yes, even though it is called Blue Skies Ahead, this sampler is very green. Sometimes the sky sends flowers instead.

Visit the MyMemories forum to download the sampler and join the August Use It All challenge.

I created this layout using this month’s sampler. The only change I made was to desaturate the ticket, clip the cardstock to it, and set the cardstock layer to Soft Light.

If you love the mini and want more, be sure to check out the full Blue Skies Ahead Collection by ScrapChat Designs. It is just $5 during August only.
