Hello my friends! Can you believe that at the end of this month, we only 3 months left of the year? Craziness I tell ya!!!
For many school has already started or it will be starting soon and it's time to get back to learning and usually has some new adventures. For September, our challenge will be to create a Rachel Designer Mash Up BUT with a twist.... the layout must be related to "an adventure".
An adventure is how you interpret and define that. It can be physical (hiking, moving to a new place, traveling to a new destination) or emotional (getting a senior through the 12th year of school, feelings during a pregnancy, etc). Let your creativity take you away with this one!!! This layout does not have to be an art journal layout, it can be a layout that just incorporates some journaling or your photo and title can tell it.
For this challenge, we will create a Rachel Designer Mash Up:

This layout does not have to be an art journal layout, it can be a layout that just incorporates some journaling or your photo and title can tell it.
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 related to "an adventure."
- 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.
