Hello! Roxana here! Do you have kits, that you bought for some specific pics and then never used again? I guess for most of us the answer is yes, but there are some ways to get the most of our kits. In every kit you can always find generic stuff, like ribbons, flowers, buttons or even non themed patterned papers. Having that in mind and the palette of the pics you want to scrap, choose a themed kit, you’ll see that using most of the generic elements you’ll be able to get a great page. And remember some extra tools that might help you as well, clipping papers or using blending modes and  styles with the themed elements.

Here a couple of examples I made to inspire you to use a themed kit with non related pics.

First this page I scrapped using History Lessons. See how I used most of the generic elements and papers in the kit. And I even used one themed element as a mat for the center pic.


The next page was made using Fireworks,  I decided to use all the stars and fireworks as the main elements in my clustering, as I had a big light on my BG pic. And I really love banners, but this one was themed, so I clipped a patterned paper to it. In this kit the alpha is themed too, so I clipped a paper and added a stroke.

Hope these tips are helpful and you can re-use your themed kits again and again! Happy scrapping!!

    Great ideas. I cannot see the second page using the Fireworks kit. I tried on Google Chrome and on Internet Explorer and could not see it.
