Amy Tangerine Sketchbook :: Preview of the new American Crafts scrapbooking collection
If I could only scrapbook with the supplies from one collection this year, it would be the Amy Tangerine collection. (Admittedly, I might cry first. Because I really, really like mixing collections. But since this is an imaginary restriction, I’m going to try to keep the tears and tantrums to a minimum.) I love the colours – rich turquoise, ripe raspberry pink, avocado green – and the motifs are inspiring without being sickly sweet. Cameras, maps, handwritten affirmations. All things that rate highly in my book.
So it is with great anticipation that I look forward to Amy’s new release for American Crafts: Sketchbook.
Think an updated, summery colour palette and a bit more freedom in the designs. With the tag line Splash some color on life (which you know I want to respell, but I’ll cope for today), this line promises an artsy twist, but still easy to craft with, no matter what your style, just like the American Crafts tradition. Sounds good to me. My intention is to use the two collections together, so I’m especially interested to see how they coordinate.
But really I don’t know all that much more than you do at this point! Today you can hop through ten different blogs to get a peek at the new Sketchbook collection, and my contribution is this canvas camera sticker. Yep, I think I can find a spot for that in my albums!
To continue on the journey, head over to Jennifer McGuire for the next look. Once you’ve made the full circle, be sure to visit the American Crafts blog, for the chance to win the full Sketchbook collection. A pretty fabulous reward for a bit of crafty blog reading!
By the way… I will be covering Winter CHA right here on the blog – that’s the big craft trade show where all the new collections (like this) debut. The show opens on the twenty-ninth of January, and I’ll be blogging one brand at a time, so you can come right onto the show floor with me, except you can stay on the sofa and avoid paying nine dollars for a cheese sandwich in a convention centre. Sound like a deal? Awesome.

17 January 2012, 10:00
I am loving this line!
17 January 2012, 10:15
Love the canvas sticker. I think if we are “careful” about how we do it, I think the lines could be used together (crossing my fingers, since I have quite a bit of the first line bits to use!)
17 January 2012, 10:16
I agree, I’ve loved Amy’s launch collection and it has fitted in so well with other lines too. Sneak peeks of Sketchbook are starting to look like another must have. Please make sure you order lots in for one of your classes this year like you did for LSNED (and then let me know which one it’s gonna be so I can sign up, lol!)
