Rachel's Mixed Media Challenge | February 2023 - Closed

Hello everyone, jaye here with the January winners and February's challenge.

Please help me to congratulate Anglea Toucan @Angela Toucan our winner of the January 2023 Mixed Media Challenge. For those of you who participated your discount coupons will be coming in the next day or two, please watch your inboxes!

I am guilty of being a single photo scrapper most of the time, anyone who has looked at my gallery will be shaking their heads in agreement. For this month I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone and create a page that had more than one photo.

My approach to creating a multi-photo mixed media page is to find like photos and put them close together or in a bit of a cluster. As you can see I have 3 photos of flowers and they all happened to be taken on the same day. After choosing my photos I played with editing them a bit to make them darker or dreamier depending on the kits I am using.

After placing my photos (see January's Challenge from Aly for tips on photo placement on your canvas) I start to build my page. I usually start by adding paper pieces, and pocket cards, then move on to foliage, string and flowers. Once I have those all set I come back to add splatters, paint, and word art. For this particular page, I also blended 3 papers together to create the background.

Our challenge for this month is to create a mixed-media page that uses more than one photo.
In short, the rules are;
1. two or more photos
2. have fun and think outside your comfort zone

Challenge Requirements:

* Create a new scrapbook layout or creative project using at least 75% of Rachel's Product. * The other 25% must contain product from another current TLP designer.
* The product can be currently available in the TLP Shop or be retired products from Rachel or a current designer.
* Templates are NOT allowed for this challenge, this is for you to practise setting up a multi photo page from scratch.
* Hybrid projects are also welcome and the same product rules apply. Where digital products are used in a hybrid Project they must all come from current The LilyPad designers and at least 75% must be Rachel's Product.
* Use Two or more photos on your page or project.
* Upload your layout to the Rachel Jefferies Designs Gallery at TLP with your product credits.
* For your challenge entry to be counted, you MUST upload your finished layout to this thread. Please link your thread to your gallery image as it helps us leave love on your layout (and validate your project).
* No double-dipping… your layout must be created for this challenge only, no others. You must create a NEW layout for this challenge.
* This challenge will remain open until February 28th, 2023.

Here is my finished page!
