American Crafts Farewell Blog Hop (and a give-a-way!)

I am excited (and sad) to be participating in an American Crafts Design Team Farewell Blog Hop today. The end of our term is here...and a new team will be starting on September 1st. It's been a great two years working with American Crafts and I will miss it!

I have loved working with all of American Crafts wonderful products, but I have especially liked the lines designed by Amy Tangerine and Liz Kartchner. I think Sketchbook might have been my favorite line of all time since I am such a doodler and love watercolors. Here are some of my layouts using lines by these two talented designers. First the Neapolitan line by Liz Kartchner:

Next, the Sketchbook line by Amy Tangerine:

And last, a few of my older, but favorite American Crafts layouts from the past two years:

Now THAT was a lot of American Crafts layouts. Posting these is a reminder of how much I have enjoyed the past two years working with their products. They never cease to amaze me with their new lines.
