Challenge Tuesday- Mixing the Old with the New

Good morning!

It's Becky Williams here with Nicole Nowosad today for another Challenge on Tuesday.

To go along with our theme this week of mixing old and new products we have a fun challenge for you- create a project using at least 10 pieces of patterned paper mixing the old with the new.

How does that sound?

Nicole rose to the challenge beautifully!

Here is her layout:

Nicole said, "The new 6x6 tiny tablets make it really easy to get more than 10 papers on my page. I just cut each paper in half and used them as strips on my page, hiding the edges that lined up with photos, a journal card &/or a die cut tag. I love how all the new lines go together so easily and combine with the releases from last CHA as well!"

Here are some close-ups of her page:

Doesn't she do such gorgeous work?

I really like how Nicole meshed the old and new collections together so well.

Supplies:Sweet Shoppe (6x6 tiny tablet, chipboard stickers), Destination (6x6 tiny tablet, chipboard stickers, embellishment bundle), Pinwheel (6x6 tiny tablet), Persnickety (6x6 tiny tablet, journal cards), Double Dutch (Lemonade), Christmast Cheer (Figgy Pudding, journal cards), Autumn Spice (clear stamps).

And now for my take on the challenge:

I also used strips of paper to add more variety to my page, only I did it on a smaller scale. I cut a piece of cardstock the same height as my photo and cut random widths of paper and adhered them to the cardstock. I added more patterns by using diecuts and smaller strips of paper at the top and bottom of the page.

I cut the "I {heart} this" from one of the index journaling cards and layered a couple of the cards for my journaling. There are lots of ways that you can include 10+ pieces of patterned paper without adding a lot of extra bulk.

Supplies: Sweet Shoppe (Marshmellow), Persnickety (Finicky, Fussy, Index Journaling Cards), Pinwheel (Flip-Flops, Sprinklers, Ice Cream Truck), Buttercup (Queen Bee), Handmade (Thimble), Double-Dutch (Marmalade), Lovely (Whimsy), Christmas Cheer (ABC Stickers).

We'd love it if you could join in our challenge.

Great challenge! You guys keep it interesting, love that. Have I missed the announcement of last month's challenge winner? (I had lots of fun using up scraps, that was a good way to start the year cleaning out the stash.)
