Let’s Blend Challenge

Hi everyone! Joanne here with the August Let’s Blend Challenge. We will be working with a Canvas Typecast Blend Mask this month. My fellow members of the Creative Team have created some fabulous layouts to give you some inspiration.

First up is Carol (carollee). Carol used the notebook blend as a background for her photo of these adorable penguins. I love how she clipped the sweater weather paper to it to go with the penquin’s attire. In addition to the freebie pack here are the products used: Cabana Whites Paper Pack , Sweater Weather Paper Pack 02, Moonlit Garden Add-On Paper Pack, Big Bottom Lift Classic Photo Frames 01, DIY Epoxies 01, Make Your Own Postmarks Pack, Moonlit Garden Ephemera, Botanist Notebook 25 Mini Kit, Moonlit Garden Chipboard Words, Snowy Friends Scrapbooking Kit, Color Essentials Mango Ribbons and More

Valerie, (nanavg) added this fun photo to the bound notebook blend, which created such a realistic looking page. I love the elements she added to finish off her layout.

I love the framing and the cluster is the perfect compliment to her page.
