One of the best things about October Afternoon products is that so many of the lines work well together! You can put County Fair next to Weathervane...or Daydream with Ducks in a Row...or Hometown with Detours. The possibilities are endless!! Here are two layouts done by some of the mix-it-up masters on our design team:
Fresh by Summer Fullerton mixes Daydream papers with County Fair.
Toothless Grin by Tara Pollard Pakosta mixes Hometown papers with Weathervane.
So, for this week's challenge, we want to see you mix things up! Create a layout, card, or project using papers from at least two different October Afternoon collections. Mix Night Light with Hometown...or Detours with County Fair! Any two lines...it doesn't have to be a lot, use whatever you have on hand! Post your links in the comments section and we'll be picking a few lucky winners to get some of our oh-so-fabulous cardstock sticker sets (colors and styles will vary):
We can't wait to see your mixed-up projects! You have until next Tuesday (March 31) to post your links...we'll draw the winners and post them on Wednesday April 1. (No April fooling, I promise!!)
I love mixing OA!! Here are some cards I made
