time for our next challenge. this time mary and i invited lisamarie to play along with us. lisamarie had emailed us both a while ago asking about getting involved with a regular challenge thing. and this was right about the time that mary and i were thinking about making this a regular thing between us. it was so fun to hear from someone that was excited about the challenge idea too.
so this week ... it was a doozy. we decided on the following:
1. the color purple ... which is mary and i's least favorite color to scrap with (and turns out, not a favorite of lisamarie's either)
2. vellum ... something i havn't used in ages, and thought would help tone down the purple
3. ribbon ... we all love ribbon
4. the number 13 ... worked into our layout in one way or another
first up is lisamarie's layout ... which you can see HERE. next up, we have mary's layout ... which you can read more about HERE.
and here is my layout.
a little different from my normal scrapping. this layout was not planned at all. i was actually looking for purple pattern paper ... when i came across these ki memories tags. they come all on a sheet ... arranged just like you see them here ... in the same order. and i realized that there were 13 of them on the sheet ... perfect for our "13" part of the challenge. i just punched them all out and adhered them in the same pattern on a piece of cardstock.
i stapled some vellum on either side of the layout. and for my title letters ... i was just looking for some while letters and came across these. how i choose "my day" for my title ... i have no idea. then when it came time to journal ... the title dictated what i was going to journal about. i found some rubons that sort of fit the theme ... and worked those on some of the tags. that "create" sticker is bugging the heck out of me ... but it's stuck on there, so it was to stay. lol! and not a great hand writing day for me ... but it works i guess.
we hope some of you will join in this challenge .. and then share what you created. for the last challenge, we had a couple of you share ... carla and carine. i though there were more of you. lol! if you did play along, be sure and leave us a comment and link us over ... we'd love to see!
You all did great layouts! Purple is a hard one for me too!
I love how you used all those tags, Laura! What a great idea! And awesome that you scrapped about your days - very cool!

The the fact that you all stepped out side your box and went with purple. I love seeing the different layouts using the same rules really fun.

Wow! Great job everyone! Purple is hard, but I have a LO i progress on my desk that has purple in it and I purchased a package of vellum too. How funny!
You are so good Laura at photoless LOs! That is challenging itself!! Love challenges!

I LOVE purple!! You all did a wonderful job on the challenge. I thought that 1st LO was a magazine ad!! Love what you did with the tags Laura--fun way to use those. Great challenge!

I hardly EVER use purple either, but I have a lot of purple paper because of kits I've received. Love both of your interpretations of the challenge.
It's always fun to do a layout about what goes on in your day - it will be fun to look back on.

Laura and Ladies
Wow!!! Everyone did a great job. Purple is a hard color to work with. I did a whole album is this color for my DD it is one of her favorite colors. These layouts are five years out of date to share...LOL Oh and Laura I have those set of tags in my stash. Wonderful how you used them.

A very difficult color, purple. And how to use the numer 13. Ribbon was no problem and vellum also. I think I made it work.
I can't wait for the next challenge. I loved it. And your layouts are awesom!!
