Killing Kits - Shipping Labels & Tags.

Hello Counterfeiters. We're nearing the end of the month, so I'm back with a few 'Killing Kits' ideas to help you finish of some of those kit leftovers and this month I wanted to focus on shipping labels and tags, which I see included in both 'traditional' kits and those made with Traveller's Notebooks or Project Life in mind. And, if you don't already have some in your stash, you can easily cut down some basic cardstock and try out these ideas for yourself!

Now, whilst I think that one of the commonest uses of a shipping label is as a journalling spot, Ali Edwards took that idea, ran with it, and came up with something truly amazing. This layout has been in my favourites for such a long time - and I don't think I'll ever stop loving it. It's such a fantastic way to make the 'story' the main focus (in fact, the only focus) of the layout.

This next layout from Marivi Pazos couldn't be more different, but I love that the difference in the labels adds to the overall effect, so that the 'title' is contrasted.

Finally, this layout from Shanna Noel uses *so* many labels and tags on one layout - and I think it's fantastic. Shanna has covered her entire base with different labels, finding some balance between the different styles and colours - and has even taken some of them off the edge of the layout, to make sure that there's no empty space. (Not one for our 'white space' scrappers!) I love how she's used the labels as spots for her smaller photos and journalling - and maybe this has helped her to use up those with titles or graphics that wouldn't normally be in her own style?

If you have your own favourite way of using these items in your own scrapbooking, please let us know in the comments below. Or, if you are still in need of ideas for your kit leftovers, you can check out the full Killing Kits Series or head over to the Counterfeit Kit Facebook Community where the Master Forgers and our friendly followers will be happy to help!
