This week, we're mixing and matching...a fusion of old + new, and today we're mixing up Winter Fairy Tales and Once Upon a Halloween.
It may sound impossible, but Designer Erin Blegen is here to give you the step-by-step proof that it's not!
Take it away, Erin!
For
this project I decided to combine papers from "Winter Fairy Tales" and "Once
Upon A Halloween". They both share some of the same rich, bold colors and I felt
they would work just perfectly together!
First, here is my layout:
Now, I'll break down the steps I used to create this page.
Step 1: I always like to start out a Webster's Pages project by doing a bit of fussy cutting, just to get me started.
Step 2: I've used the "Ghosts" paper as my background. And because I like to get the most out of my paper, I've cut the middle out of it (since it will be covered up anyway) to use as the photo mat a little later in my project.
Next, I cut the "Little Fairy Tale" purple butterfly paper down to 10"x10" before border punching the edges. On top of that I layered the "Winter Fairy Tales Die Cut" Paper before adhering an 8"x8" piece from the "Night Owls" paper.
Finally, I added the fussy cut section from the "Little Fairy Tale" paper along the right-hand side to act as a base for my journaling.
Step 3: Now it's time to start to put things together! I've added a book page underneath the circle photo mat cut from the "Ghosts" paper.
Step 4: The purple Perfect Petals flower from the Once Upon A Halloween collection takes center stage. I thought it would be a great meeting point for my banners which were cut from more of the "Night Owls" paper.
Then I added some trims from the Everyday Poetry Trim Pack. Finally, I tucked a Florette behind the mailbox.
Final Result:
Details, details, details~! This is where I have the most fun with my project- piling on the pretty little things that bring the layout to the next level; from the punched strips and bling on my banner to the bows, title, and fussy cut additions- all bringing just a little more interest to make this project complete.
