These are the 4 layouts my club did with the Mix-In paper Sept-Oct (2 of them) and the Mix-In Sept-Oct coordinating cardstock. I did have to add one black for a base page and little bit of Daisy White and Scarlet for journal spots and accents. I always use dies for the journal spots, and I try to pick one that I think matches the design in some way. My club benefits from my extensive die collection.
For this layout I used the keyhole border punch for the top accent.
For this layout I used a pine tree border punch. You cannot tell from the picture but the brown around the journal spot has a wood grain embossing.
I used an old Sizzix die for the circle accents on this page.
