Hello my friends! Welcome to December! I cannot believe another year has flown by!
This is the time of year for celebrating holidays of one's choice, exploring wintertime or even wrapping up the year for a smoother new year. For December, our challenge will be to create a Rachel Designer Mash Up BUT the layout must be related to "celebrating a holiday, wintertime or wrapping up the year".
"Celebrating a holiday, wintertime or wrapping up the year" is how you interpret and define that. It can be celebrating Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, New Year, spending time in the snow, skiing, beach (for those with a warmer climate), deep cleaning the house, getting rid of clutter, etc. This layout can be art journaling in nature or it can be one that incorporates photos. The blank canvas is yours and ready for your masterpiece!
For this challenge, we will create a Rachel Designer Mash Up:
Here's a layout created by me:
I love mixing kits. I used the following for my layout:
Rachel Jefferies | All the Little Joys & Let's Remember
31 items from both of the above kits--Music Stamp x 3, Paper x 1, Reindeer x 1, Tree stamp x5, snowflakes x3, messy threads x1, foliage x 6, mistletoe x1, dried flora x1, flower x3, ribbon x2, branch x 2, paint splatter x 2
I combined the above kits with this collection by Palvinka Designs | Christmas Hug Collection
29 items from the above collection --Paper x1, flower x2, gingerbread house x1, antler x 2, berry branch x5, string x 2, star x 3, ribbon x1, embroidered leaf x 4, frame x1, gold leaves x1, overlay x3, greenery x 1, pine x 1, word art x 1

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 "Celebrating a holiday, wintertime or wrapping up the year
- 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.
