A 12 x12 layout for Ephemera's Vintage Garden and a new DT Announcement

Exciting news!  I have joined the Design Team for Ephemera's Vintage Garden!  I couldn't help but notice the gorgeous digital designs in the Etsy shop, and at the same time I wanted to try something fresh and new.  I wanted something that would combine well with my chipboard from Gina's Designs, and the multitude of designer flowers and other embellishments I already own.  Hybrid scrapbooking, using digital papers along with traditional elements,  seemed to really fit the bill. I love that I can print out as many of the images that I need.  I am so excited to have been invited to be a part of this team, and to share my first project.

I chose to create a layout as my first project on the team.   I wanted to challenge myself to see how well these digital designs would combine with mixed media as well as traditional embellishments.  I love the shabby look, and the soft pastels.  I've featured my daughter Maggie May on one of her vintage clothing shopping sprees.

The background paper is a mostly plain paper from my stash, and all other paper, and paper layers,  are from Ephemera's Vintage Garden.   The digital papers I used are from the Shabby Chic Mashup paper add-on.  It's a set of 8 printable double-sided pages designed for 4 x 6 mini journals.  They are a "mashup" of several other designs in Debbie's current digital minis line, and were designed to coordinate.
