All you have to do.... is create a project based on the sketch below and incorporate one or both pieces of the striped paper in your project.



**Remember when you found out the hard way in school that plaid and stripes don’t mix? Well, the same goes for your Digital Layouts. If you want a nicely coordinated page, keep in mind that you don’t want a bunch of different textures and prints on one page therefore, choose your co-ordinating kits carefully.

and I will leave you with this statement I found about stripes

"Whether traditional or unconventional, stripes - especially on walls and floors - promote order. They have an almost architectural power to redirect the eye and reshape a space." Nicole Sforza, Real Simple Magazine, July 2010, "Decorating with Stripes," page 137.

ENJOY
