Shauna's Tip: “When mixing and matching patterned papers, turn to a Paper Pizazz™ book. I used Mixing Bright Patterned Papers, which contains families of patterns designed to work together. It means I can scrapbook Amber’s 13-year-old energy with a bright combination of fun, funky papers; I can even combine them on one page!”
