Something Old, Something New: September

Hello! Trace (tracermajig) back once again with the September Something Old, Something New challenge!

If you are new to challenge, the rules are pretty simple. You have to use at least one old and new product from those products selected on your layout. You can use what Katie has provided in the freebie or if you have these element packs, feel free to use anything from them.

This month we are playing with frames and I hope you feel inspired to play along!

The old:

And the new:

Let’s see what the team came up with!

I just love how Mel (Britgirl) added the tag frame onto the twine from the hanging frames. The frames hanging over the masked photo create such a cool design!

This is what Mel used on her page: Hanging Photo Frames 01, Palette Textures Paper Pack 12, Tag Photo Frames 02, Watery Photo Masks 31

How sweet is Sharon’s (Shannamay) page? I love how she layered the frames up like an ephemera stack. It gives her page so much dimension and let’s that beautiful photo take centre stage!

This is what Sharon used to create her page: Color Swatch Inkwell Ephemera, Engraved Paint Cluster Layers 02, Fine Line Border Lines Brushes and Stamps 11, Fine Stems Stamp Pack 03, Graphite Masks 02, Kaleidoscope Ephemera, Malene Element Pack, Spring Bouquet Mini Kit, Tag Photo Frames 02, Vintage Artistry Essentials Paper Pack, Vintage Artistry Teal Ephemera Stack Layers, Vintage Mini Mix 17, Vintage Photo Frames 17, White on White Paper Pack 02

I (tracermajig) always like to give myself a challenge within the challenge. This time I wanted to try using all 4 frame packs. I love how easy it is to layer these frames up and use them like pieces of ephemera!

This is what I used to create my page: Artsy Blend Layers Leaves 08, Blendable Layers 142, Bloom in Paris Scrapbook Mini Kit, Done with Doilies Photo Clusters 01, Hanging Photo Frames 01, Page Starters Ephemera, Page Starters Ephemera Plus Pack, Page Starters Paper Pack 02, Page Starters Paper Pack 03, Page Starters Sentiment Transfers, Page Starters Transfers, Partial Page Masks 13, Pine Woods Element Pack, Sherene Element Pack, Simple Collage Frames 01, Tag Photo Frames 02, Vintage Photo Frames 17, Wood Tile Alphabet 02
