Ready.Aim.Fire!!

The start of a new month, means new reveals at Get It Scrapped!  There will be some great articles coming your way this month and today's is no exception.  We will be looking at the fun Menswear trend.  Menswear-type prints/patterns are inspiring home decor, print media, textiles, even fingernails!  Our assignment this month, was to incoporate one or more of these trendy patterns: pinstripe, chevron, houndstooth, herringbone.  Here is what I created:

I love to use patterned papers on my layouts, because they create a lot of movement.  One of my favorite Menswear trends, is the Chevron pattern.  I repeated it several times on my page by using the more subtle pattern as my full background, by cutting one section of the Chevron from the full pattern and trimming the ends into arrows, and by adding a little bit of a stitched Chevron pattern.  I also added in a little bit of Houndstooth, which is also a Menswear pattern that is really popular right now.

Don't miss out on how the Creative Team took on the Menswear assignment!  You will find some fun ideas for your next layout or project!!
