Mix It Up Monday: Wildflower + My Story Matters
The second edition of our fun series Mix It Up Monday has us combining the brand new Wildflower collection with the My Story Matters collection! When I create the Wildflower collection with NO pink, my team was itching for my ubiquitous favorite color, so when I had to decide on which collection to mix it with, My Story Matters s was a no-brainer!
Check out the examples below to see how well these two collections go together with tips on combining them!

When I approached my layout, I knew two things:
1) I wanted to use that gorgeous TN Signature from the Wildflower collection and
2) I wanted to add PINK!
So I created a fun distressed background combining the two collections in alternating paper strips from both sets of papers. The yellows and bright blues in both collections match really well so it wasn’t hard to use those as a base to combine colors.
I topped the whole thing off with some flowers and leaves cut from the Wildflower Floral Motif Cut Files and embellishments from both collections!

I focused a lot of the yellows, blues, and greens of these two kits to mix them together. To give the kits a less "girly" feeling I relied a lot on the papers being the star of this page while still pulling in some of the reds and pinks from My Story Matters for an extra pop.

I used the cutfile from the wildflower collection and colors them with distress oxide, under each flower is a grey flower so they would stand out more.
I used diecuts and paper from both collections and I just love how well the mix together!

I love the bold colors in my story matters collection and the theme. I don't really tell stories of myself very often so I try to every now and then. Wildflower collection has soft colors and spring vibes and combining these two collections make perfect balance for my page.

Both 'My Story Matters' and the brand new 'Wildflower' are full of vibrant pastels along with hearts and stunning blooms! I love the message of the 'My Story Matters' collection and created a palm sized mini album that is all about what is really valuable to me. I stayed mainly with a palette of blue and yellow and both collections have amazing designs in those colors. I accented the mini with an assortment of pink and green touches from both as well.
Inside Pages
This 4"x4" little mini actually opens up to four different sections and a whopping 16 inches! That means lots of photos and lots of embellishments! The base of the album is made with the patterned paper designs from 'My Story Matters' while the interactive pages are done mostly with the 'Wildflower' designs. I embellished all of the pages with elements from both collections and I think they merge beautifully!
