Rachel Jefferies Mixed Media Challenge - July 2020

Hello ladies! Welcome to the Rachel Jefferies July 2020 challenge!

Without further ado, congratulations to the lucky winners of last month's challenge: the winner of $10 is @Trish and $6 is @mywisecrafts. Rachel will be in touch with your coupon codes via PM asap!

Well, things are still a little confusing in the world right now, there’s so much going on, so, we decided to do an easy Mixed Media Challenge this month – a product challenge!

Rachel has a very unique style in her products, and we can always see a lot of realistic elements, because she actually creates them in real life. So, this month the requirement is to create a page using at least 5 pieces of paper scraps, plus some messy threads and some stitching. Most of her kits/collections have torn papers, torn tags, paper scraps, paper trim, some kind of stitch and messy threads.

I always use those items on my pages, but I know that 5 pieces of paper scraps can be a challenge, so think that you can use them to create a cluster under a photo, on the corners, to add a date to your page or maybe create your own collage paper using some paper scraps found in Rachel's Kits ...

Please, note that you are NOT supposed to use pre-made paper clustered elements, or ready made collage papers to count towards your paper scrap pieces. Nor the Thingamajig templates where the paper pieces are already arranged for you, even if they are created by Rachel. We want YOU to arrange the required paper pieces on your page, and please note where you used them on your page within your credits list.

If you'd like to see one of the places where Rachel finds inspiration to create her paper collages, she gave us the link from her Pinterest board for Collage Art:

You are not required to use the following products, but here are some of Rachel's items that may inspire you: Messy threads and stiching: https://the-lilypad.com/store/Rachel-Jefferies/?catid=16
