Hello, hello! Lisa here again, this time with a couple of layouts to share that I've made using Kaisercraft's Mix & Match range. The base colours for this line are kraft, white & red, which look fabulous together as well as combined with other colours and patterns.

My first layout has a sheet of kraft cardstock as a base, paired with the flipside of the Postage Stamps sheet, featuring a corrugated cardboard pattern. I chose a picture of myself and my husband (in which we're not pulling goofy faces for once-- that's definitely something worth preserving, if nothing else!) and beside it, a Project Life card featuring similar tones to the rest of the page.


Other bits and pieces used: a doily (cut in two), ribbon, some gorgeous dusty pink Kaisercraft flowers, a silver mesh flower that I've had in my stash for so very long I can't recall where it came from, some wooden veneer pieces ( Studio Calico) and some little bunting flags cut from a larger sheet of patterned paper. The red lace heart on the right was cut from the Hearts sheet.

My second layout features darker tones, and shows off just how versatile this range is. I've used my old faithful grid style arrangement once again, and punched out a variety of squares from the assorted patterned papers, then arranged them onto a chocolate brown cardstock background along with a single photo of my daughter.


I love how, although all the patterns are very different, they work together beautifully because of their shared colour palette.

I've embellished some of the squares with wood veneers (of course!), a polka-dotted butterfly, and a tiny red fabric heart. On the largest square at the top, I've popped one of the Lacy tags, tied with a little red and white twine, and raised from the background with some mounting foam. A word strip (cut from the selvedge edge of one of the papers) along the bottom of the layout and a little veneer arrow, and it's all done. :)

Here's a slightly closer look:


And that's it! :) Mix & Match is such a great range, and you can find it in the store here.

That's all for me for now-- I'll be back again a little later in the month with some more creations. Thanks for looking, and have a fabulous day! :)

Cheers,
