Template Mashup: Treasured Moments
Hello everyone! This is Merr here to introduce the first of our two Mashup Challenges this month. After I choose the two templates that I think will work well for mashing, I ask the Creative Team to create examples to share with you all. I am never disappointed by the results. In fact, I marvel at their creative ideas! No two pages are ever alike even though they all started with the same two templates.
You’re invited to join us for this challenge. I know your examples will amaze me, too! The rules are simple. Just make sure you include parts of both templates in your new design. You may add additional designs from your stash of Katie Pertiet Designs, if you wish, to complete your page.
To get started, let’s look at the templates we’ll use. When I choose the templates I like to include one template with masking possibilities and one template with plenty of layers of elements. A good title is important, too. I think these templates fit my criteria perfectly.
Now, let’s look at the examples the team made!
Layout by Jheri
Oh, the sweetness of the smiles in this photo of a grandpa with his grandson posing in a pile of colorful leaves! The photos and the warm golden tones of the page warm my heart! Jheri completed her page with a paper from Palette Textures Paper Pack 05.
Layout by Candy (cnewby)
A visit to a pumpkin patch is a great Fall tradition. Candy’s look back photos are fun to see and I love her idea to include a quote on the long tag up in the corner. A paper from Canvas Color Mix Paper Pack 03 completes her page.
Layout by Karen (kaclinck)
Orange leaves and orange pumpkins take center stage on Karen’s page. She very effectively used one of the paint layers as a mask for her photo of a beautiful tree with its orange and green leaves. Karen’s background was created by blending papers from Anchors Away Paper Pack and ARToptions Spice Paper Pack 02.
Layout by Stacia
Stacia used the templates to create a page about her new grandson’s first Halloween. She cleverly used an element from one of the templates to hide the face of the baby so we could post this on the Blog. A paper from Curated Team Favorites Garden Kit completes the page.
My Layout (digigrandma)
I chose a photo I took while out for a fall walk in a nature preserve near our house. I wish days like this could last long into November. I added a paper from Vintage Artistry Nature Study for my background paper.
Now, it is your turn! The templates will be included in the Thrifty Thursday Sale, so, grab them while they are on sale and have fun mixing and matching the parts of the templates. I will be on the lookout in the Gallery to see what you create. Please post in the Gallery and in the November Challenge Participation Thread.
Thanks for visiting the Blog today. May your November give you many memorable moments to scrap!
