Just Hangin’ Out

Rachael here with another Layering Challenge. This month we are going to jump out there and try a “build your own banner style layout”. One RULE – DO NOT Stress!!! Make it as simple or complex as you want. The key is to have fun and jump out of your comfort zone.
Start with any type of ribbon, thread, string, limbs, banners or twine to create an anchor, then add away!
Need ideas to get started:
- Katie’s Vintage Collections and Ephemera stacks are filled with great source of elements and journal cards.
- Choose any of Katie’s Vintage Artistry Collections, Art Option Mini Mix’s or any of the Kits in the store.
- Turn a Template into a banner by adding the elements from the folder into your own creation.
- Try mixing and matching from different kits or templates to create your very own one of a kind layout. Trust me when you get started, you will have a ball. There is no wrong way to this challenge, anything goes.
Our creative team has curated a collection of stunning projects that showcase their creativeness for this challenge. Katie has been so generous to provide us a freebie for this challenge.
