You Are Special-Template MashUp Challenge

February is coming to a close soon but, since it is usually known as the month in which we celebrate love, I thought a challenge highlighting special people in our lives would be appropriate. The challenge is to use mostly elements from the following two templates (which will be on sale this week) and combine them (mash them!) to make your own unique page. You can add a few additional items to finish off your page.

You Are Loved Layered Template

You Are Adored Layered Template

Our Creative Team has done some great template mashing to give you ideas of how you might combine these elements together. The first example is from Karen (grandmak)  who combined photo frames from both templates to document a special time with some sweet girls. She also made those big “LOVE” brushes into stickers! Creative! Karen added the following elements to her design: Arctic Whites Paper Pack 02, Paper Strip Words: Love 01, Seasons Sparkles Element Pack.

The next inspiration page is by Valerie (nana_vg) and features an adorable little valentine! Her choice of background paper is perfect. Stacking up the circular sentiments and framing them with the Coin Holder Frame  in that great plaid really catches the eye! Be sure to read her cute journaling. Valerie added the following items to her page: Coin Holder Frames 01, My Vintage Valentine 02 Paper Pack 02, My Vintage Valentine 02 Solids Paper Pack, Taped Together Overlays 04.

For my page (grandma lynnie), I decided to use photos that announce the coming of a baby brother for Rosie. I thought the pink elements (especially the rose!) could stand for Rosie and the blue elements for baby brother. The only item I added was a background paper from Cabana White Paper Pack to add a little texture.

We hope you will be inspired to design a page for this Template MashUp Challenge and post it in the Template Gallery for all to enjoy. Be sure to also add a link to your page  in the February Rewards Participation Gallery to help earn a valuable coupon to the KPD store.
