I usually tend to gravitate towards bright primary patterns for pages about my little guys, however it seems as if I'm using more and more neutrals lately, and having a blast with it. This layout is made using Classic Calico V3 by Studio Calico, and uses Helmar Acid Free Glue to hold the paper layers together.
I loved slipping in the polaroid stickers from the collection, usingone of them to frame part of my title . I was also happy to use some of the adorable wooden mustaches which I stained using Tim Holtz Distress Stain, and stuck down using Helmar Premium Craft Glue.
I pleated the adhesive fabric tape and stuck it down as I went for a little detail.
As a last touch, I went back and added some ink rings using a jar lid, and some more Distress Stain. Don't be afraid to experiment with colours and papers that might not normaly be your thing. If you are drawn to it in the store, you can definitely find a way to make it work for you.
