It's time for another "3 Products, 2 Ways" feature! We love how each crafter has their own individual style. Several people can take the same products and come up with different ways to apply them to their own projects. It’s fun to be inspired by one another and how we see the world in our own unique way . . . it really gets the creative juices flowing!
Our wonderful Guest Designer, Melissa Bell and design team member, Jana Eubank, were given the three following products to work with.
- Lost & Found 2 - Blush "Precious" Pintuck Paper (can use front OR back)
- Lost & Found 2 – Sunshine "Two of Us" Pearls
- Lost & Found 2 – Rosy "Love" Buttons
Next, they incorporated these three products in with other products of their choice and came up with their own projects. Check it out!

Here is what Jana had to say about her layout:
For the three product challenge, I decided to focus on the Lost & Found Two “Rosy” collection. First, I used the striped side of the Blush “Princess” Pintuck Paper as a bold border across the middle of my page. I softened the edginess of the striped pattern by punching cream lacy borders from the other side of the paper. After adhering the lacy borders to the top and bottom of the striped paper strip, I matted the border with the red gingham side of the Rosy “Remember” Lovely Paper. The layered paper strip adds the perfect amount of energy and color to this page.
Next, I used the Sunshine “Two of Us” Pearls to add a pop of color beneath the title die cut. I love the shimmer of the yellow pearls. It’s the perfect elegant touch and the yellow color ties together the yellow lettering of the Title die cut with the yellow flowers in the background paper. I also loved the backing card that was part of the Pearls packaging and decided to use it to house my journaling. I simply typed my journaling on my computer, printed it on a transparency, and then adhered it over the card with small glue dots.
Finally, I decided to incorporate the Rosy “Love” Buttons into my page by creating another page accent to adorn the top of the journaling card. I used the circle accents from the Decorative Brad package, along with a few flag stickers to create an award-shaped accent. Instead of using the brad in the center of the layered circles, I used a buttton. I was able to utilize the backing card from the buttons by turning it sideways and tucking it behind the journaling card. The green art deco stripe anchors the award accent and added the perfect hint of color to the top of the journaling card.
