Hi everybody! Helena here today to share two more layouts with the totally amazing October kit  - Treasured Yesterdays. This kit has so many pretty embellies and papers in it - I could create forever!
 
The first page I'm showing you is a playful, fun one. I decided to use a banner as my main design, and used the beautiful Prima Epiphany papers both for the background and smaller pieces beneath my photos. I have then decorated with flowers from the main kit and flower add on, and the wood Icons and stick pins from the main kit.

 
A couple of close-ups for you:
 

 
I added small pieces of cheese-cloth under the photos, distressed the paper pieces and also painted with some white gesso, to get texture and dimension.

 
My second layout today is a circular one. I love making layouts in different shapes. I have used a plate as a template, and cut two papers (Prima Epiphany collection) with a regular pair of scissors, and one paper using a decorative scissors. This way I get a shabby, distressed look, and a nice frame on my page.
 
 
I have decorated with flowers from the main kit and flower add on, and also a couple of embellies from the main kit (wood icon and stick pin from Prima's Epiphany Collection). Under the photo I have layered a few of the journaling cards from the main kit (distressed the edges of course!).
 

 
Thank you for stopping by the Swirlydoos blog today!

Do you just love the look of mixed media layouts?! I sure do!!! Mixed media layouts are all the rage in scrapbooking today. So I have decided to share with you one method of creating a mixed media layout. But first, here are some examples.

Here's one of my personal favs from my own gallery.  This was so much FUN to make:

 Our August swirly girl challenge hosted by Christy(Cbshai), called Transformation, is a chance to try a mixed media layout of your own and submit it for a chance to win a totally awesome random act of kindness. Check out Christy's sample:
