Hello my friends! Here in the US, Spring is getting ready to turn that corner and we are going to be running into summer and with that, I say welcome to June!
For June, our challenge will be to create a Rachel Designer Mash Up BUT with a twist.... the layout must be masculine in nature. I know it's easy to scrap about the females in our lives and keep all those colors soft or bold and pretty. Now, let's focus on the male(s) in our lives and create this designer mashup layout that show cases them. (The male represented, does NOT have to be a human....)
In case this challenge throws you off your creative game, here's some suggestions that may help: think dark or moody colors; if you love flowers, still use them but maybe add some metal pieces in there, messy strings, buttons; consider using more paints and splatters to add that "extra" in lieu of an excess of flowers; keep flower colors more muted. I am more than positive there is adequate supply in your stash to create a fantastic designer mashup--just think "how can I make this look and feel more like a male."
For this challenge, we will create a Rachel Designer Mash Up:
Here's a layout created by me:
From Rachel Jefferies Designs: 1paper, 3 messy thread, 1 flower, 1-grass, 2 stamps, 1 bit, 1 ephemera, 2 journal prompt
ManuDesignStudio: 3 overlays, 1 chicken wire, 1 frame, 1 coin, 2 greenery, 2 hardware, 1 compass, 1 wheel
Here's some examples from the Team:

For this challenge, we will create a Rachel Designer Mash Up:
- 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).
- The layout MUST be masculine in nature and a male should be the focal point (male human, male dog, male cat, male horse, etc)
- 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).
- 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.
