Bad Girls Week #2 Homework

The Homework for this week was to play with Mixed patterns. Combining different patterns can be stunning and dramatic on your pages if you do it right. There's a trick to mixing and matching patterns and colors. You need a healthy dose of creative imagination and some courage to use variety

Principle 1- Colors
Color remains an extremely important aspect, particularly how you use it. Patterned Papers have a gazillion colors to choose from. So how do you decide which papers to mix?

Principle 2 - Gallon, Quart and Pint
This has been a design principle in Interior Decorating forever and it works in scrapbooking too. When mixing patterns, mix pattern scales as well. One pattern should be large, one medium and one small. If you decide you want a floral pattern as your attention getter, pick a large pattern. Then pair it with, say a thin, narrow pattern of stripes with similar colors as the large floral. Make the large pattern your "signature" pattern, the one that grabs the atention. Be sure that the other patterns are smaller and more subdued

Principle 3 - VARY PATTERNS
Mixing various types of patterns is a good way to get started. Think florals with stripes and grid paper. Using three florals together, even if they are different scales, will look busy and cluttered. As you can see, for this layout I chose a floral, a dot and a stripe.

Principle 4 - Play!
Remember...there's no right or wrong in scrapbooking. Experiement with mixing patterns and see what mix YOU like. Play with whimsical papers and designs that fit your theme. Play with colors in embellishments and trims. Sometimes you can break all of the rules and LOVE the result. Try a few different things until you get the feel for mixing patterns and you'll be hooked in no time!

Here is My take on the homework!

Is not the 3days walk but..OMG is a great starting point..as I/we don't do much exercise these days!! I know so bad!..but the good thing is that for this 5K walk we actually started to train..Oh Yea...We started walking about two days a ago..and is great (everything hurt) !!! But I have time to spend with my DH and do some exercise..So we could actually do the walk!! How cool is that!

So, I will be posting some picture of us training so!! Keep in touch!


Here is a quick overview of the walk!
On Sunday, September 14, 2008, the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure will be holding its 18th annual 5K run/walk. On that day 22,000 New Yorkers, including 1,500 breast cancer survivors, will come together to run breast cancer out of town.
