Hello my friends! Spring is right around the corner for us in the US. I love this time of year!!! The newness of life is always so inspiring.

For March, our challenge will be to create a Rachel Designer Mash Up BUT with a twist:
  • at least 50% of your layout should consist of Rachel's Designs that are currently available in her Oscraps Shop and the remaining should be from a Designer here at Oscraps, (example: if your layout has 10 layers, then at least 5 layers has to be Rachel's Designs and the other remaining layers from a Designer of your choice from Oscraps).
  • Here's the twist: The layout should represent your current season. I am purposely leaving this subjective. The season can represent Spring, Fall, Winter, Summer or it can a season of life that you are in etc. It really is based on your definition of a season.
  • it is preferred that the layout is created with as close to a 50/50 designer split as possible but there is room to change the dynamics of the split a little as long as at least half of the layout is using Rachel’s Designs that are currently available here at Oscraps
  • List the total number of elements/papers used from each designer is required (ex: Rachel Jefferies Designs: 1 paper, 3 flowers, 2 stamps, etc; Scrap Designer of your Choice: 2 blended papers and 2 leaves, 1 ribbon, 1 word strip, etc) and indicate which season is being represented (i.e. fall, winter, summer, spring, season of life, etc).
  • Use of a template is acceptable, if the template includes a paper or embellishments (such as threads, stitches, stamps etc.) please note these will need to be included when counting your layers for the relevant designer.
  • Collabs are NOT permitted for this challenge.

Here's a layout created by me:
My Season appears to be one of perpetual chaos with my 2 teens...
I've used a total of 28 items from Rachel & Vicki Stegall
Rachel Designs (Be that Girl):
Paper x 2, paper piece x 2, messy marks x 1, stamps x5, word strip x 1, foliage x1, ticket x1, ribbon x1

Vicki Stegall (Magic in the Mess)
heart charm x1, hanging heart charm x 1, staple x4, large tag x 1, small tag layered under large tag with messy threads x1, vintage page x 1, negative frame x1, messy thread x1, paperbit edge x1, word art x1, paint splatter x1

Thanks for hosting this fun challenge, Ester. I chose winter as my season. It was winter when I created this art. But I almost forgot to post it! Hope this still works. I used both Rachel's and Anna Aspnes' goodies. Photo is a friend's pool when it snowed in sunny Arizona. It's so strange to see snow on the diving board of his pool. It keep it simple to let the unique photo shine.

Rachel's goodies: a snowflake element, paint and messy thread
Anna's goodies: a sun element, paint and urban threadz
