Mix and Mingle

They are really challenging me this month over at the Heart 2 Heart blog. lol! This week's challenge was to mix and mingle stamp sets and paper packs. One of my favorite things about Close To My Heart is that everything matches and coordinates. So when I pull out a paper pack, the patterned paper and cardstock all go together so I can quickly create a card or layout. However, another great thing about the way everything coordinates with CTMH is that with the 42 exclusive colors, you can mix and match from different paper packs. Anyone who really knows me, knows this is a little out of my comfort zone! So this week I stepped out of what I am most comfortable with and dug through several paper packs to find just the right combination of papers to match some pictures a friend of mine had taken of our daughter at the pumpkin patch. I must admit, I absolutely love the way it came together. I used a layout design from the Imagine how-to book and paper from 4 different paper packs, Moonlight, Buzz and Bumble, Dreamin', and the new Huntington paper pack. I also used three different stamp sets, So Grateful, Timeless, and Cherished Flourishes. It is good to get out of your comfort zone sometimes, you never know what you will create!
