Announcing our Dear Lizzy collaboration -- a new line created by American Crafts and scrapbooker/blogger Elizabeth Kartchner!
Dear Lizzy is spring-themed, but it’s so versatile you can use it for everyday projects. The concept is an outdoor tea party, inspired by nature and childhood play – you’ll notice designs of darling flowers, trees and bicycles throughout.
This is the first time American Crafts has teamed with another designer to create a line, and Elizabeth worked closely with us to ensure a balance between our trademark look/feel and the feminine, playful touch of the designer herself.
A longtime AC fan, Elizabeth was Creating Keepsake’s 2007 Scrapbooker of the Year and now writes a column in CK magazine. She’s also author of the recently released book 52 More Scrapbooking Challenges, and she chronicles her projects and life as a mother of two on her blog.We’ll have more info about Dear Lizzy next week, so stay tuned. The line will be available for purchase very soon. Let us know what you think!
