Something Old, Something New: December

Hi friends, Trace (tracermajig) here with you again! How it is almost Christmas, I have no idea. But I do have a Christmas themed Something Old, Something New challenge for you today!

I had no rhyme or reason for how I chose the products this month. I just gathered a mish mash of elements and here we are! As always, there’s only one rule and that is to use an old and new product on your page. You can either use what’s in the freebie that Katie as provided or if you have these packs feel free to use anything. Let’s see what we are playing with!

The old:

The new:

The team have put together some wonderful examples to help inspire you!

I love how this new template that Stacia (Stacia) used works so beautifully with the brad from the ‘old’ pack. A perfect match!
Stacia used these products on her page: December Days Brads 01, Kitlet Solids Paper Pack 06, Scrap Layers 94, Scrap Layers 95, Typed and Scripted 32

I love how Mel (Britgirl) made the frame centre stage. It pairs perfectly with her wonderful photos! The elements surrounding her frame add to the festive fun.
Mel used these products on her page: Around Words Thankful Brushes and Stamps, Artisan Trees 01, ARToptions Holiday Wishes Ephemera, Artsy Spots Brushes Stamps and Layers 01, Assorted Messy Stitches White 03, Candy Striped Photo Frames 03, Christmas Lodge Scrapbooking Kit, December Days Brads 01, Evergreen Season Ephemera, Holly Jolly Hand Drawn Frames 01, Partial Page Masks 13, Peace and Joy Transfers 03, Season of Joy Ephemera, Typed and Scripted 32, Vintage Artistry Noel Stack Layers, Vintage Photo Frames 52 

My (tracermajig) only goal for this challenge was to use all 4 element packs. It was the perfect challenge to help me document our new (and much smaller) Christmas tree.
This is what I used to make my page: Across the Pages Vol. 03 Layered Templates 07, Artisan Trees 01, Astro Element Pack, Blendable Layers 34, Cardstock Tabs 02, Curated Studio Mix 46, December Days Brads 01, Done with Doilies Photo Clusters 01, Engraved Paint Cluster Layers 07, Holly Jolly Hand Drawn Frames 01, Little Enamel Charms: December 01, Messy Stitched Circles: White 01, Star Glows Brushes and Stamps 01, Typed and Scripted 32

I hope you feel inspired to join the challenge. Don’t forget to upload your pages to the Something Old, Something New gallery and update the December Challenges Participation Thread to earn your store rewards!
