Something Old, Something New

Hi Everyone! It’s Trace (tracermajig) back for the latest Something Old, Something New challenge.

This month we are playing with layering ephemera pieces. There’s always so much potential with these. You can tuck them in for a little something extra or make them an integral part of your page design. The possibilities are endless! Let’s see which products we are using this month.

The old:

The new:

Like always, there’s only one rule to this challenge and that is to use an old product and a new product together. If you have these products in your stash, feel free to use anything from these packs. Otherwise, Katie has kindly put a freebie together to get you started.

Let’s see what the team created!

I adore Amy’s (Amy L) vertical design here and the way she used the ephemera pieces as photo mats. It’s such a striking design for her adorable pups!
These are the products that Amy used: Big Bottom Lift Brushes and Stamps 02, Blocking Sentiments Brushes and Stamps 01, Botanique Noel Add-On Paper Pack, Classic Cardstocks: Festive Brights, Collageable Pieces 01, Field Guide Remnants 01, Layered Foundations 05, Postcard Journalers 02, Vintage Orchard Botanical Transfers 01, Vintage Orchard Botanical Transfers 03, Vintage Orchard Ephemera, Vintage Orchard Ephemera Plus Pack

Lori Ann (lmaggs) used these products as the perfect layering pieces behind that sweet, sweet photo! They are the perfect addition to highlight the most adorable Yoda.
This is what Lori Ann used to create her page: Arctic Whites Paper Pack 02, Clipped Stacks with Layers 15, Color Swatch Toast Paper Pack, Espresso Mini Kit, Layer Works 2188, Layered Page Foundations 05, Postcard Journalers 02, Stitched Journalers 03

I (tracermajig) challenged myself to use something from all four products. I decided on somewhat of a grid design which was perfect for piecing all of the different ephemera together.
These are the products that I used on my page: Autumnal Flore Element Pack, Big Bottom Lift Classic Frames 03, Collageable Pieces 01, Fastener Basics 01, Field Guide Remnants 01, Graphite Masks 03, Layered Page Foundations 05, Pencil Lines Frames Brushes and Stamps, Photo and Journal Clusters 03, Postcard Journalers 02, Puppy Power Element Pack, Sacked Solids Paper Pack 02, Stamped Stitches 14 Brushes and Stamps, Vintage Artistry Everywhere Sentiment Transfers 02, Vintage Orchard Blendable Transfers 02, Vintage Orchard Botanical Transfers 02, Vintage Orchard Chipboard Words, Vintage Orchard Ephemera, Vintage Orchard Ephemera Plus Pack, Vintage Orchard Filed Frames, Vintage Orchard Paper Pack 01
