Something Old, Something New: April

Hi Friends,

Trace (tracermajig) back with you for another Something Old, Something New challenge!

I have gone with a ‘dreamy’ theme this month and I hope you feel inspired to play along! Let’s see what we are using.

The Old:

The New:

Like always, the aim of the game is to use an old and new product on your page. You can choose just two products or use all four if you like. If you have these products in your stash feel free to use anything in these packs or you can use the freebie Katie has provided to get you started.

There is a lot of inspiration from the team this month, let’s see what they have created!

Rachael (myssp) created an adorably dreamy page! I love those big stitched stars in the middle of the page and the gorgeous colours! What a terrific design for a baby page.
Rachael used these products to create her page: Blue Skies Scrapbook Kit, Classic Frame Layers 01, Dreamy Paper Pack 07, Hand Scripted Brushes and Stamps 24, Instant Artsy: Scribbles-n-Scratches 01, Pretties in Blue Paper Pack, Readymade Layers: Collage Clusters 07, Spectrum | Gardenia Wishing Bubbles, Stamped Stitched Stars Brushes and Stamps, Stamped Stitches 10 Brushes and Stamps, Vellum Sentiment Strips 01, Watercolor Sketchbook No.01 Element Pack

I just love the whimsical page Amy (Amy L) created for this challenge. Bubbles, flowers and whimsy are a perfect combination! I love the little stitched stars poking through the flowers and grass!
Amy used these products on her page: Dreamy Paper Pack 04, Grassy Edgers 02, Messy Stitched Circles: Black 01, Pencil Twists Arrows 02, Stamped Stitched Stars, Stamped Stitches 10, Watercolor Sketchmark 01 Element Pack

I love how Lori Ann (lmaggs) used one of the stitched stars as a placement for her journaling! I’m going to have to remember that idea! I also loved the addition of the flowers and leaves and the sweet colours she used.

Jane’s (Jane_Bond7) page is the definition of dreamy! I love the clouds and stars and the sweet bub tucked into the moon. Just beautiful!

I (tracermajig) have been unsure how to scrap these photos since I took them. So this challenge was the perfect inspiration for me! You can never have too many stars on a page, can you?
