Mixin' things up!

Today's post is showing how we don't have to just
use one collection of paper when making a layout.
It's fun to mix and match collections and create your own combinations!

Ones Destination 
by Juliana Michaels
 Designer Tips: I used the colors from the photos to help select the colors of patterned papers for my layout. I looked for papers that had the color wanted and I was able to find neutral patterns that were perfect for these photos. I also fussy cut the map and globe images from the Detour Globe Trotting paper and used them to create a lighter colored background paper by layering them on the Camp A Lot Dot paper.

Bo Bunny Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Dot/Camp A Lot; Boxes, Stripe/Mistletoe; Baggage Claim, Globe Trotting and Cut Outs/Detour; Poppies/Serenade
Stickers: Home Sweet Hotel Cardstock Sticker/ Detour; Serenade Dimensional Stickers
Jewels: Serenity

Designer Tip: Papers from a different collection can make a perfect accent on your lay-out. 
The neutral Ambrosia paper was the perfect paper to balance the warm colours in my lay-out. 
Also don't hesitate to use stamps or embellishments from different collections. 
They often match surprisingly well.

Bo Bunny Supplies:
Patterned paper: Dot, Hickory, Orchard, Stripe/ Apple Cider; Sunflower/ Forever Fall; Trellis/ Ambrosia
Blossoms: Denim Daisy
Jewels: Apple Cider
Chipboard: Apple Cider Layered Chipboard
Noteworthy: Apple Cider, Forever Fall
Stamps: Ambrosia, Serenade

I hope you all are enjoying fall and the beautiful colors and the crisp
weather. Don't forget to join our blog hop tomorrow for 
World Card Making Day.  Have a good one!!

with their scraps.

 "I decided to do the strips because I always find I have lots of thinner strips left over from my papers so I thought this would be a good way to use them."
 "The journalling is all about my youngest son who has gone through a few stages of wearing some very strange items when he slept. Various eye wear was one of the most popular things, I never knew what I would find him wearing when I went to check up on him at night!"
 Carin also provided us all with a sketch! Thanks Carin.
