Hello fellow scrappers!



Isa here to kick off our THE ART OF MEMORiES event with you!

For this first challenge of the month, we’re going to keep it easy.

As scrapbookers, we collect memories, but also kits and collections that we use to create our pages. And often, we choose a collection because the colors and/or the theme match the memory we want to scrapbook.
But sometimes we just can't find the perfect fit for the story we want to tell.


That’s why today I’m inviting you to explore the art of mixing kits and collections to create something even more personal, more “custom-made.”

So, for this challenge, I’d like you to create a page using THREE different kits or collections.
They can be three collections by the same designer or by two or three different designers—the choice is yours.
But, there’s a little twist: you must use at least 1 paper and 3 elements from each kit or collection.

Pretty simple, isn’t it?

So, to complete this ART of MIXING challenge, you must:

create a page using 3 different kits/collections,
use at least 1 paper and 3 elements from each collection to create your page. Papers can be blended, cut, clipped etc, let your creativity speak! BUT please note: since the goal of this challenge is to combine several collections, recoloring items is not allowed.​
• list the required items (i.e., 1 paper and 3 elements from each collection) below your page in this thread.
You don’t need to list all the other items you used.



Here’s my layout for this challenge

bellisae_Yutori-NotesFromToday-ItsMyChoice_pic_by_SBAM.jpg


required items list: YUTORI (sp8, am5_transfer, el26_doily piece, el59_flower), NOTES FROM TODAY (p2, el59_clover stamp, el3_spatter, el60_splatter), IT’S MY CHOICE (p4, ct1_collage transfer, el6_punchinella, el12_mesh)



It’s your turn now!
Can't wait to see how this challenge will inspire you!


Have fun!
Isa



Here are the 3 collections I used to create my page :

Here is mine:

(I am sorry if the naming on the elements is confusing. When I get a kit I most often rename them to make them easier for me to find them when I am working with the kit. A name like“el13” just frustrates me because similar elements (flowers or foliage, or ribbons for example) are not together. So I change the name to have similar elements together in the file list.)

Required Items List - all by Bellisae:
Easy Breezy
Paper 4, el42 (Ocher leaf), el16 (torn paper bit), ac17 (gesso burst)
Little Joys
Paper 1, leaf stamp, transfer_hearts, paint_green
Time Off
Paper 6, el32 (bow), el10b (mesh_white), el 35 (leaf_pressed)
