Those of you who have participated in my challenge in the past, I pick an alpha to use a Manufacturer to use with a twist to use something starting with the same alpha. I've always used a sketch from Sketch N Scrap giving you the opportunity to play here and also their blog or Facebook group.

This year, SNS is changing things up a bit and I thought I'd give their changes a try for at least this month because it's a great idea and I still want everyone to be able to participate here and there. 

January 2025 Manufacturer with a Twist: TWIST: MIX IT UP - create a layout with a mix of old and new by using one or more papers that are over 3 years old on your layout with an embellishment that is new (a year old or less) OR use an embellishment over 3 years old and at least one or more papers that are new (a year old or less).

You do not need to use the sketch if you are only participating here so cards and other projects are accepted.
 
NOTE:  If you have an alpha you would like me to use, please let me know

Please list the manufacturers (new and old).  We should be able to clearly see the product(s) that you do use for this challenge! I will pick a random winner to receive a $5 ACOT gift certificate.

Must be a new layout/card or altered project.
Limit to five entries.
Must post to the gallery by 01/31/2025 at midnight and also post to this thread.
You may combine with one other December monthly challenge if allowed by that challenge.  

For my sample I used a new collection from 49 and Market for my papers and older Pinkfresh Studio and Pebbles puffy stickers for my embellishments.  I'm also using the January 1st sketch from Sketch N Scrap.  It's a great sketch and I hope you come play along.
