My "Snowhaven" page kit re-designed

Here is another example of a challenge I put myself into. A few Fridays ago I presented you a re-designed version of my "Brushed" page kit. I had so much fun with the re-design that I tackled another one. You can click HERE to see the original layout I designed with this kit!

This one is a winter scene, yes, in the middle of summer, but I thought this one shows even more how much options you have using one and the same paper pack/ page kit to create two or more completely different layouts.

Like with the "Brushed" one, this "Snowhaven" kit was already pre-cut and stamped. So first I took out all my parts and placed them on each side the way they were intended originally.

I started by moving things around and thinking about how to cut the old picture mats (the big one) into smaller ones. An open window blew a few of my papers around and flipped them over....Wait a second! Yeah, Close to My Heart design papers are all double sided, so why not use the backside of them, right?

Well, and this is what I came up with:

The left page changed quite a bit if you compare it to the original design. I used the big strip on the bottom and tore the paper away from the area the stamped imagine of the two skating kids was. I also cut the big blue and grey cardstock pieces down and converted them into multiple size.

The right page changes as well. Beside using the backsides of each paper, I arranged the the photo mats in a more loose way and added one extra mat that came from the grey piece of the left page. 

I think it is really amazing to see two totally different looking layouts which are based on the same pre-cut page kit, don't you think so? Leave me a comment and let me know which layout would be your favorite and have you ever tried to change a kit? I wold love to hear from you.
