Something Old, Something New: July

Hi! Trace (tracermajig) here with this month’s Something Old, Something New challenge. This month I have chosen some old Readymade clusters to mix with some new ephemera packs. I hope you feel inspired to play along!

As usual, the only rule for this challenge is to use an old and new product on your page. You can use anything from these packs if you have them or what is in the freebie pack provided by Katie. Other than that, feel free to go in whatever direction you feel inspired!

Let’s see what we are playing with:

And the new:

And let’s see where the team took this challenge!

I love how the Readymade clusters Mel (Britgirl) used fit so seamlessly with the rest of her page design and elements. By tucking in clusters behind the frame it makes layering so simple!
These are the products Mel used on her page: Field Guide Layers 02, Readymade Clusters Outdoors, Vintage Makers Ephemera, Vintage Makers Ephemera Plus Pack, Vintage Makers Paper Pack 01, Vintage Mini Mix Kit 15

Jen (jdipzinski) only used the 4 featured products to create her page. And what a beautiful page it is! I love how the two Readymade clusters on the corners of the frame anchor it all down. Such lovely page for what sounds like a lovely town!
Jen’s product list: Field Guide Layers 02, Readymade Vintage Banner Clusters 01, Readymade Clusters: Outdoors, Vintage Makers Ephemera Plus Pack

I (tracermajig) think the Readymade clusters are great to use as a title or as part of a title. So that was my jumping off point and then I just kept adding until it felt right to me.
This is what I used on my page: Arlesey Element Pack, Assorted Patterned Tapes: Fall 01, Blendable Layers 134, Blendable Layers 83, Blendable Layers 86, Classified Photo Frames 01, Done with Doilies Photo Clusters 01, Faringdon Element Pack, Field Guide Layers 02, Finley Element Pack, Frosted Fun Element Pack, Moonlight Dreams Element Pack, Paper Alpha 01, Patterning Palettes 03 Solids Paper Pack, Readymade Clusters: Outdoors, Vintage Makers Ephemera, Vintage Makers Ephemera Plus Pack

I hope we have inspired you to join the challenge! Don’t forget to post your pages to the Something Old, Something New gallery and to also update the July Challenges Participation thread to earn your store rewards!
