What I love about American Crafts patterned papers is all the different solid patterns from each line that go together so well. I combined most of the solid patterns from five different lines (Dear Lizzy Spring, Abode, I Do, Letterbox, and Heat Wave), punched a scalloped circle from each paper, cut each circle in half, then created a photo mat for my one picture from the half circles. I love all the bright colors and fun patterns and how they bring out the colors in the photo. I always make sure to stock up on the solid patterns because I use them the most on my projects!
