This week on the American Crafts blog is Happy Place week!  We are sharing projects using Dear Lizzy's new collection!

I love the tropical designs mixed with bold and pastel patterns in the Happy Place collection.  They brought this design together in a snap.

How To: Use scissors to fussy cut around Kokomo patterned paper.  Cut around some of the hexagons and leave some open, use adhesive to adhere design to white cardstock paper.  Handcut some hexagons from various patterned papers and adhere to background design in a sporadic pattern.  Handcut hexagons from black cardstock and adhere to background design.  Use a sewing machine with white thread to stitch some of the pieces down.  Use a dropper to splash black ink across the page.  Print a small 3" x 3" black and white photo and adhere to the center of page.  Thread a paper clip with tassels and clip on to photos.  Adhere die cuts to page.  Spell out the title "Noteworthy Yes" using accent & phrase stickers.  Adhere phrase stickers underneath photo.  Finish layout by embellishing with rub on pens.
