Something Old, Something New: November

Hi friends! Welcome to November’s Something Old, Something New challenge! It’s Trace (tracermajig) with you again to hopefully inspire you to mix your old and new stash together!

This month to mix things up a little I thought we would challenge ourselves to only use what is in the freebie as our old and new products. Feel free to add in whatever you need to make your page but please use an old and new (or all four!) product from the freebie. You will no doubt work out what we are playing with from the team pages below!

First up is this adorable page by Amy (Amy L). I love how she split the sentiment around the photo and also turned the rosette into a flower!
This is what Amy used on her page: Cottage Fields Page Titles, Edge Overlays 01, Hello Autumn Element Pack, Sunset Harvest Remnants 02, Sun Harvest Scrapbooking Bundle, Yesteryear Element Pack

How beautiful is that view at Addie’s (AddieG) cabin? I love Addie’s vertical title and how she used the doily and paper remnant for layering pieces. Those wonderful photos take centre stage and it looks like absolute perfection to me.
Addie used these products on her page: Cottage Fields Page Titles, Curated Team Scrapbook Mix 05, Hello Autumn Element Pack, Pebbled Universal 01, Sunset Harvest Remnants 02, Vintage Photo Frames 52

Kimberly’s (kimberlyb) page is a great example of using all four elements together. I love how the rosette ribbon emphasises her title. The black and white photos are also perfect with those colours. What a fun page design!

I love how Stacia (Stacia) got creative with the repeated rosettes behind the doily. They could be flowers or even buttons. You would never think it was a rosette! The split title also helps your eye wander over her lovely photos.
This is what Stacia used on her page: Cottage Field Page Titles, Hello Autumn Add-On Paper Pack, Hello Autumn Scrapbook Kit, Hello Autumn Solids Paper Pack, Layer Works 156, Photo Journal Clusters 02, Yesteryear Element Pack

The rosette ribbon reminded me of some orchid shows I have attended with my Mum recently. I knew I wanted my photos on the diagonal from the title but I did have to get a little creative with the doily to create a square mat behind everything. My only regret is that I couldn’t put the amazing smell of a hall full of blooming orchids on my page!
This is what I used on my page: All My Love Element Pack, ARToptions Mini Mix 19, Chippy Metal Plates 01, Classic Side Lift Photo Frames 01, Cottage Fields Page Titles, Curators Botanical Ephemera, Curators Meadow Ephemera, Everlasting Remix Solids Paper Pack, Golden Pretty Element Pack, Hello Autumn Element Pack, Lemon Zest Element Pack, Lemon Zest Solids Paper Pack, Messy Stitched Stars: White 01, Page Starters Ephemera, Page Starters Ephemera Plus Pack, Photo Wraps 21, Spring Bouquet Scrapbooking Mini Kit, Spring Skies Element Pack, Sunset Harvest Remnants 02, Yesteryear Element Pack

That’s a wrap, friends! I hope we have inspired you to give this challenge a go. Don’t forget to upload your pages to the Something Old, Something New gallery and to also update the November Challenges participation thread to earn your store rewards! See you again next month!
