Let’s Blend Challenge

Happy Monday! Joanne (jcaruth910) here with the May Let’s Blend Challenge.  This month we will be working with one of the Ancestry Blendable Layers. I love taking them apart and using the different layers in fun ways. Feel free to recolor, resize, etc. Just play! Katie has once again provided one of the blendable layers as a freebie, but you can use any one of them in the collection if you happen to have it already in your stash.  My fellow Creative Team members have created some lovely pages to help inspire you.

First is Melanie (britgirl). Mel created a page of memorable family wedding photos, and used the layers of the blendable in different areas of her layout. This is a perfect example of how versatile these can be. Here are the products she used: Ancestry elements,  Ancestry layered banners, Most of pocket pages template No 11, Ancestry Blendable Layers

Sharon (Shannamay) used one of the other Ancestry Blendables and created such a creative page. Her composition is fabulous. Here are the products she used: Ancestry Blendable Layers, Layering Sentiments Christmas 03, Spill Frame Layers 37,  Anchors Away Solids Paper Pack

Shannon (Shannonr) inspired us by creating a wonderful cluster to help tell the story of her page. Here are the products she used: Ancestry Blendable Layers , Ancestry Layered Frames 01,
ARToptions Plum Grove Ephemera, Fine Line Titles 27, Ancestry Element Mix, Artsy Blend Layers Botanicals 09, Watery Photo Masks 21, Partial Page Masks 04

For my page, I used the freebie that was included. I basically kept the original design, but recolored some of the layers, and added a few other elements. Products used: Blendable Layers 12 Base, Thin Classic photo frames 2, Ancestry blendable layers-1, Hinge Pack No. 1, Always my mother stamp pack

A big thank you to Melanie, Sharon and Shannon for helping me out by creating such inspirational pages. Hopefully you are inspired to create your own works of art. As always, please don’t forget to post your layouts in the Let’s Blend Challenge Gallery, as well as the May 2026 Challenge Participation Thread to earn store rewards.

Happy Blending!
