I'm trying to make and divide these shapes (So they can be edited separately

From where the blue and green paths cross. I have tried pasting the paths on another page and using all the Pathfinder options but I never able to separate the above shapes like I want!

I hope this makes sense!

    Hi becky411234567,

    move all the paths to another layer and lock the layer with your pictures.

    Then select all and use the Live Paint Bucket tool.

    Thanks! It took me a while because I didn't see the "live paint bucket/ selection" on the toolbar. Is there anyway I can place in image in those areas instead of color? Thanks!

    All things you can save as swatch are possible. Images not, but colors, pattern and/or gradients.
