MIX–N-MATCH
If you want versatility in your life you have to learn to Mix-N-Match. If you have young kids in your household you may be familiar with the Garanimal line of clothing. They have matching tags on their shirts and pants, that you can mix up and your wardrobe will still match. As adults we don’t have the luxury of matching tags, but I like to buy things that will suit more than one purpose or occasion. This goes for my Creatables too.

On the following layouts I used 3 different Creatables and 3 different artists to embellish each page. It was fun looking for styles that complimented each other and it also gave me a chance to reacquaint myself with my collection of Creatables.

Happy Mixin’-N-Matchin’

  1. When it comes to school graphics, there are so many to choose from. You can find Creatables just for school, and you can find school graphics mixed in with other Creatables such as ones with fall and kids themes. Be sure to take advantage of the search feature within your HugBrowser to find a perfect graphic. That’s what I did to find the 3 graphics I used on this layout. The bus is from Debbie Mumm’s Celebration, the verse is from Back To Class and the checked border is from Happy Fall to All.
