not sure about the burlap?


I had a whole bunch of reactions when I opened my March kit from Scrapbook Circle. Ninety-nine percent of my first thoughts were, "Oh yeah!!!! I LOVE everything in here!!" Then... one percent, "What am I going to do with this?"

I was thinking about the burlap. I instantly loved it and was confused by it at the same time.


In the end, I decided to use it as a photo mat in most cases. And what I loved most was how the rough texture could be used to contrast a soft and delicate moment.

I edited this photo of dear, sweet Samantha in her tutu to make an even greater contrast between the soft, girly moment and the rough contrasting burlap.

Make sure you upload your layouts to the Scrapbook Circle gallery after you play with your March kit. I'd love to see what direction you take this yummy, confusing, fantastic addition to the March kit.
