Watching the Polar Bear

Collections,Designer Projects 9 November 2009 | 6 Comments

profile 3Happy Monday!  I hope your weekend was fabulous.  My weekend was filled with shopping, a new hair color  and creating with the cool blues of the Working Man Collection.

For my first Working Man project, I pulled out some of the “bazillion” zoo pictures I took this summer.  These pictures of my son watching the polar bear (or, more precisely, waiting for the polar bear to decide it was time for a swim).   The blues of the Working Man Monochromatic Family lend themselves perfectly to any water-related photos.  With 9 shades to choose from, you will always have the right blue at the right time.

Here is my project:

I used: Couture Cardstock “Working Man Monochromatic Family: Sleeping on the Couch, Provider, On the Road,” “White Monochromatic Family: Canvas”

Here are some more ideas for using the Working Man Family, including several I can’t wait to use myself!

  • Snow and Ice related photos
  • Water related photos
  • Baby Boy projects
  • Layouts about “Being Blue, Feeling Blue”  etc.
  • Layouts about your favorite winter events

Next week, I will be talking more about Working Man and linking you up to some coordinating patterned paper collections.  In the meantime, you can get all the details and ordering info for Working Man here:
