Today&#8217;s post is a fun one that will show you different ways you can stretch ONE scrapbook kit. I know many of us, myself included, will purchase a kit, use it once, and then it sits on our hard drive collecting imaginary dust.<\/p>\n<p>After this post, I hope you feel inspired today to go through your older files and reuse a neglected kit in a new way!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s eight examples of different design styles using one kit. I chose Traci&#8217;s kit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/sweetshoppe\/product.php?productid=23785\">I Hope You Dance<\/a>. The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1kit8ways.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-16596\" title=\"1kit8ways\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1kit8ways.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1kit8ways.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1kit8ways-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1kit8ways-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1kit8ways-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All of these projects are so vastly different yet they use the SAME kit.<\/p>\n<h5>In The Top Section:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=240220\" target=\"_blank\">top left layout<\/a> uses a <strong>single photo template<\/strong> to showcase the story she wants told about that photo. If you have a kit that you love then grab a template and see what you can do with it.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=240028\" target=\"_blank\">top right project<\/a> is a <strong>hybrid<\/strong> inspiration jar. There are some amazing hybrid ideas in the hybrid gallery and on pinterest.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=245158\" target=\"_blank\">bottom left layout<\/a> is a great <strong>photo focused layout<\/strong>. The picture tells the story<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=239751\">bottom right layout<\/a> is a great example of a <strong>patterned background<\/strong>. If you tend to shy away from using a bold pattern as the main background on your layout give it a try!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>In the bottom section :<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=240092\" target=\"_blank\">top left layout<\/a> is a <strong>central focused cluster layout<\/strong> (my words lol) The photo is the main event but there&#8217;s a lot going on but your eyes stay in the middle of the layout. This is a great style to try if you are one that likes to take up the whole page this will give your eyes somewhere to go.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=240010\" target=\"_blank\">top right layout<\/a> uses a <strong>multi photo template<\/strong>. If you are like me and usually scrap single photo layouts then try this new style to tell your story.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=239851\" target=\"_blank\">bottom left layout<\/a> is a good example of using a <strong>theme focused kit for a general layout<\/strong>. Kim is great with <strong>adding flowers to boy pages<\/strong>. If you are somebody that shys away from themed kits for a non-themed layout then give it a try. There&#8217;s usually so much in a kit that&#8217;s versatile for any type of layout. You will open up all kinds of new ideas by expanding your themed kits.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showphoto.php?photo=239892\" target=\"_blank\">bottom right layout<\/a> is a great <strong>blended artsy page<\/strong>. Nikki took two or more papers and blended them together for a new background. Play around with papers, brushes, text, and layer blend modes to see what you can come up with!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Recycling your stash (especially an old favorite kit!) may turn out to be a really fun way for you to get more pages scrapped.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I hope you feel inspired today to go through your older goodies and reuse a neglected kit in a new way<\/h4>\n<p>So there you have it. Go grab an older kit you have hidden away and challenge yourself to scrap a totally different page with it. If you like lots of photos-try a single photo layout. If you like minimal journaling-try a journal heavy page.
