Mixing and Matching

I must admit that it's very hard for me to resist buying patterned paper; it's one of my favorite scrappy supplies. And since I buy so much I tend to have plenty left over in my stash for future projects. I like mixing my newer paper purchases with older paper lines. I also like mixing different manufacturing lines. Today there are so many lines that have similar patterns and styles that it's easy to mix and match them to suit your taste.

On the layout below I used both old and new papers from Prima. The older one is from the Madeline collection and the newer one from the Lyric collection. They both worked well with my photos from our anniversary trip to the mountains. I also used some very old Heidi Swapp words for my title along with a mixture of embellishments from Basic Grey.

Being a mixer is a great way to use your stash as well. So are you a one collection at a time scrapper or are you a mixer too? With so many great products available there's room for being both!

 

Happy Scrapping!
