A Trendy Challenge

Today is the last day of our TrendWatch series, and we're pretty excited to end with a bang.

That's right. A challenge...for you. With a really great prize!

But first, we have two more trends to tackle, and that means gorgeous layouts to inspire you to create. 

Like this one from Jaz Lee. Jaz chose to show use the insanely popular trend of using die cuts:

Die cuts have been around since scrapbooking began, but they've "grown up" quite a bit. One of the most popular (and fun) hot trends right now is the use of die cut text, like Jaz's adorable title block and layers. 

What a great way to make your layers even more interesting! And die cutting from your patterned paepr is an easy way to add that little something special...

Another trend we've fallen head over heels in love with is the use of masks. With the addition of mists, paints and all things artsy, masks have become a really creative way to make a layout shine.

Tomoko Takahashi's gorgeous project is proof:

This layered, artful creation is absolutely stunning, and so much more interesting to look at thanks to the negative space provided by misting over a mask. 

The best part is, you can experiment and play...go ahead and stretch those creative wings. This month, we're challenging you to use Webster's Pages (anything you want!) to create a layout that uses one of the trends we showcased this week. Scroll down for a recap! 

So, what will you choose? 

Here are the details on this challenge: 

1. The layout must use predominantly Webster's Pages.

2. You must upload your layout to the gallery at InspireME on or before midnight EST on September 20th. Your layout title must include the words "August Trend Challenge"

3. Once you've done that, come back to THIS POST and comment with a link to your layout. The winner will receive the collection kit of her choice. 

Good Luck! And Happy Trending!

This is a picture of my kids at Peggy's Cove, NS. The trendy techniques I used for this challenge are: Feathered Leaves, I used a chicken wire mask and gesso on the chipboard compass and the background paper has hexagons. I used lots of fussy cut-outs for this layout.
