Mix and Match Layouts with American Crafts

Hi Everyone,
I hope that you are having a great week so far.  I had a couple of layouts that went up on the American Crafts Blog yesterday.  For my assignment this month I was asked to mix and match some of the AC collections.  I chose to mix and match the Dear Lizzy Daydreamer and Amy Tangerine Cut and Paste collections because I love the way their colors and patterns mix together.



Sweet Layout

I love to mix and match the American Crafts collections.  It is an easy way to create a whole different look and really stretch your supplies.  To create this layout I started with X File cut  from The Cut Shoppe and added lots of fun patterned papers behind.  

 I added some fun stitching (both by hand and by sewing machine) and some ink mist and a few embellishments.

Cherish Layout

To create my second layout, I started by adding some watercolor paint to my background and then created a fun triangle background using lots of pieces that I cut with my Silhouette.

After adhering the triangle shapes I stitched over them using a straight stitch on my sewing machine,  and repeated the pattern to make a lined background.
