Mixin' & Matchin' Upsy Daisy Style

Today is my day to post a challenge on the Upsy Daisy blog and I want to share a few design details on my blog of the two pages I created for the challenge.

"The Great Outdoors"

Supplies:  Paper, Brads (Upsy Daisy Designs), Sticker (Best Creation Inc.), Pins (Making Memories), Letters (Jenni Bowlin), Chipboard (Technique Tuesday), Twine

One thing I like to do with Upsy Daisy brads is add a mini letter to the center.  They are perfectly sized for this and make an interesting way to add text and titles to pages.  For another example, check out THIS PAGE.

"This is Love"

Supplies:  Paper & Bradds (Upsy Daisy Designs), Acrylic (Tattered Angels), Canvas Flower & Pearl Flourish (Prima), Chipboard Flowers & Journaling Sprout (Jillibean Soup), Chipboard Frame (Technique Tuesday), Stamp (Unity Stamp Company), Lace (Dollarama), Letters (Jenni Bowlin)

This page is all about texture. I added an oversize canvas flower, lace trim, acrylic, chipboard, metal brads, pearls and gems. I really love to create pages with layers of texture.

I also re-purposed the packaging from the Prima flourish.  I used it to stamp the word "love" for my title and to fill the inside of the acrylic frame above it. I really like how so many companies are making packaging that can also be used a design element.

Be sure to pop on over to the Daisy Diaries for specifics on the products I used above and to play along with this month's challenge.

Thanks so much for visiting.
