What's the most kits you've put on a layout? I'm not usually huge on mixing and matching. But having my kits a little easier to pull up all at once in AcdSee might be the beginning of a new scrapping habit. So, how about you? What's the most you've combined on one layout? Me? 14. I pulled from 14 different kits for my last layout! (15 if you count the 2 separate BYOC packs). I don't know if I've ever done more than that!
Oh WOW!! 15 is a lot!! Did you do the inchies challenge earlier this year? I have no idea! I've never tracked that LOL! I usually just type in a keyword and grab whatever catches my eye.
I think, maybe 4... and that was with only one thing from the other 3 kits.. I am very much a 1 kit scrapper. Gosh, 15 kits! That is making me anxious just thinking about it! Lol!!
Wow..15! That's awesome!! I think probably 8 or so is the most I've ever used on one page and if I'm not mistaken it was for an MOC challenge.
wow! i mix mostly for BYOC these days (or pull from a bunch of different Project Mouse packs for Disney pages) but you are winning by a long shot! Typing the credits for 15 kits would take me longer than the actual scrapping!
WOW - 15!!! That's pretty awesome, Courtney. I know if my goal was to mix as many as possible, I would be intimidated. Unknowingly, I still don't think I'd be able to accomplish that! I don't think I mix too much.... lol, maybe 2-3. Now, for me BYOC is a mix, and for that I've pry done 8 or so....
I think probably 8... but I mix on almost every page! Granted, I scrap A LOT of Disney and use Project Mouse frequently. Those kits are super easy to mix because they flow so nicely together!
I love the ease of a good one kit layout, but it is really fun to mix sometimes! I went and checked my gallery here and my highest was easily this just for fun quote page. I used 9 different alphas and 13 other packs for a total of 22! I will admit that it is easiest for me to mix my own products that way since I am so thoroughly familiar with them and have a pretty good idea what will work for what I want to do. I do have one page that stands out in my mind from my pre-designing days though where I pulled in all kinds of lace and ribbons and flowers and stitching. I looked it up and that one uses pieces from 24 different kits from 19 different designers (in addition to the few bits I made myself). It probably took me as long to write up the credits as it did to make the page.
I used 10 on this snowball page: and I think 14 or so on this one: I love to mix and match especially on art journaling pages or with BYOC.
@Karen - Most of mixy-matchy is on AJ pages too. Probably because I have a specific item in mind that I want to add. On regular pages I am mostly a one or two kit girl. I rather it be done than "perfect". However, I do love the BYOC as it certainly gives me variety and yet I know it will all work together.
Like Timmi, this made me think of the inchies page we did. But I almost always use at least 5 kits and often my credit list is even longer than that. Because I scrap by searching for what I need, usually, rather than choosing a kit. Sometimes I stick to one kit for speed scraps, but even for those my search method often works just fine. Thanks to all the designers who write good filenames.
If you count matching kits like BYOC then I might be able to say 10.... Unrelated and unmatching kits, maybe 3-4 I really have never counted unless it was for a challenge.
I love mixing and matching kits. I can't tell if I do them justice, but it's really fun. For this page I used 22 kits/element packs, but it was mostly one element or two out of each kit. It was for the "Eclectic Tournament" of a recent competition, and one of the requirements was to use kits from at least 3 designers. And the Inchies, of course! I lost count on this one!
I used 11 products on this one (counting the font): And 9 on this one: And 17 on this (if I count all the different fonts): And 16 on this (plus 2 fonts):
Yes they are! I totally forgot about Disney page kit mixing. I love how they flow together. That's so many! I'm amazed. Yes. I love how easily byoc mixes together. That's awesome that you mix and match so much! And it looks like a single kit. Awesome! Lovely layout! I can't believe you used 16 kits!
The longer I scrap - 9 years now - the more likely I am to use just one or two kits. I think at the start I was just in love with having so much pretty shiny stuff!
