Lovely Backgrounds Make For Lovely Projects!

So, I had all these lovely background samples sitting around and I couldn't resist creating a few quick projects with them!

Even though Technique-a-Palooza isn't a project class, I've decided to include some instructions on how to make a few of these little projects.  I just can't help myself!

And this layout…

…came together in less than 20 minutes!! Um…I've never scrapped that fast in my life!  But, I took some of the samples I had made for the class and just cut them up and pulled them together!  See my little key below:

Man.  This is serious motivation for me.  I've always wondered if creating my own papers with no particular plans for it was a good idea or a bad idea.  I think it's a good idea, don't you?

Thanks for stopping by!
