Blog Link Up: Pick a Favorite (Kit)

For this month's blog link up I thought it would be fun to share about a favorite kit. Maybe it's a favorite you designed, or maybe the one you always reach for when starting a new layout.

Whenever I design something I usually declare it to be my favorite. But when I give the question a little time, the favorite that always comes to mind is my Lake District Bundle. This one was a challenge for me to get right because the trip I was using as inspiration was a very special trip and I wanted to do my photos justice. It took three rounds of color selection to get it right.

The fact that I actually did manage to get it right is why I love this bundle. For one thing, designs don't always turn out that way. It frequently happens that I start out with something in mind, but try as I might in the end I just can't execute it. And the fact that I could then use this bundle to make layouts of some favorite memories also adds to the endearment.

One weird tidbit is that I usually consider purple to be my most under-used and unappreciated color, but here it is being a hero in my most favorite bundle.

Also, the fact that I could use Melo's sheep is what truly made this whole project the ultimate winner in my opinion.

How fun seeing what everyone chose - thank you so much to everyone for posting their favs (The Emily Files gets a special thank you because I somehow missed most of Marisa's Superlatives bundle so I'm downloading what I missed right now! Thanks, Emily!!).

@Ania: Apparently with the free version you only get the images the first time. I may look into the paid version, or look around at other options for the future.

I just linked up mine. I don't know why it is not showing the image like last time. Well it's too late to fix it. Thanks Marisa for this idea I really liked sharing my favorites.

I love the the way these colors enhance rather than overpower your photos. Too many times photos become secondary to cool elements and papers. The colors are also a very interesting use of complementary. Yellow and purple is not my favorite complementary palette either but this uses them so very well!
