Template MashUp Challenge- Leaf It To Us

It’s season change time in both the northern and the southern hemispheres. For both places that means there are changes in the leaves. They are either emerging all fresh and new and green or changing to their autumn hues. So for this challenge, the chosen templates feature both kinds of leaves. The challenge is to take the elements from the two chosen templates and mash them together to create a new design. It’s okay to add in a few other elements, if needed.

Here are the two featured templates for this week’s MashUp Challenge, They will be included in this week’s sale.

The first MashUp inspiration page was designed by Brenda (bbe) and it features an adorable photo of her sweet granddaughter. I like the way she blended the greens and the golds from the two templates to surround her more neutral photo. The double page frames really finish off her page!

The second inspiration page comes from Kathy (blackkathy) and again features some absolutely adorable photos! Her page really is a mashup, choosing elements equally from the two templates. I love the way she made the swoop from the Sunny Skies template into a focal piece, drawing our eye across her page.

My page (grandmalynnie) is also designed around some sweet photos (but of course I’m a little biased, as that is my sweet little Rosie Rae.)  My page heavily uses items from the Sunny Skies template, but I loved those crossed graphic strips and  bow from the Layer Works so I added them in, along with a few other finishing touches.

We would be delighted if you decide to take the challenge and design your own page combining elements from the chosen templates. Please post your page in the Template Challenge Gallery for all to enjoy! Also, don’t forget to add your page to the April Challenge Sign-in thread to earn a valuable coupon to the KPD store.
