Paper from 3 different lines/manufacturers
Chipboard
Blossoms/buttons
And for bonus gold stars.... fabric


If at the end of the month there have been 10 or more cards posted here in this thread, then one lucky person will be chosen as a 'winner' and will receive a little goodie through the post courtesy of Julie (stillscrapping) at Scrapbooking Castle (http://scrapbookingcastle.co.uk/store/).

Best get sorting through that stash - enjoy! :D

Oooh thinking cap on, this may take me a while!

[Mystik Nat]

Hehe, I thought we could try our hand at something a bit futher out of the comfort zone! :D

[Lighthousegirl]

This is definitely going to take some thinking about :-/

[Mystik Nat]

You can do it!! :D

[passionflower]

Oooh this is diferent!!!!!!!!!!!!!:ph34r:

[silviakbt]

Hi, I'm new here! Can anyone join the challenge? Even though they're not from the UK? And one more question: Does cardstock count as one of the three papers? :unsure:

[Louly]

Oooh I'll be having a go at this one, this sounds like my kinda challenge.B)

[craftymama]

Quick question ... when you say 3 different papers lines/manufacturers does this mean that I can use papers designed by the same person but from different kits (digi/hybrid card) or do they have to be 3 completely different manufacturers? TIA

[elwoodsusanm]

Do you have to include a list of the products used? :)

[craftymama]

Ok here is my first attempt I think I may have to have another go at somepoint as not sure about this one but here goes:unsure:. 3 papers from left to right are from the following digi kits ShabbyPrincess Harvest Spice, Raspberry Road Easy Spirit and Butterfly Dreams. The Fairy pic is from a piece of fabric and it is mounted onto chipboard and I have used 2 buttons with gold thread, so providing 2 papers from RR but different kits are ok then I managed to acheive ;)- definately outside my comfort zone!:D:wacko: TFL

[Mystik Nat]

OK, to answer your questions...

1. Yes, anyone can join in the challenge, it's just for fun. :)

2. Technically cardstock is cardstock, it's not paper - I know, I'm being mean! :ph34r: There are probably exceptions like heavier weight single-sided "cardstock" such as those by KI, or MM double-dipped, but if you'd class it as cardstock, it's not paper. :D

3. Three different paper lines/manufacturers... OK an example would be if:

I used 1 paper by KI, 1 by Love Elsie, and 1 by Chatterbox.

OR

1 paper from BG Lollipop shoppe, 1 from Mellow, and 1 from Gypsy.

If they appear in different collections that's fine, if they are all by different manufacturers that's easy, if 2 are from the same manufacturer but in different lines that's fine.

4. And it's always nice to include a list of products for others when posting cards, helps us identify what we might want to add to our wishlist. ;)

I'm hoping to make a card for the challenge tonight and will see just how hard I've made this! :lol:

[Mystik Nat]

Woohoo!!! Go Jac!!

That's excellent, you've ticked all the boxes and receive your very own gold star. :D

You may now return to the comfort of your comfort zone, unless you want another bash at it. ^_^

Pink pp is K&C Romanza gingham, which I've had forever:lol:
Green background paper is Daisy Bucket, Astor park collection
The leaves were cut on the Cricut using SCAL out of some scraps of AC paper which I think maybe from the Play collection.
The fabric flower was cut from one of my Tee shirts when it was too tatty to wear anymore.

Great challenge! I think I have fulfilled all the elements - 3 papers(chatterbox, K&co and Crate Paper), cosmo cricket chipboard plaque, blossom and fabric (centre of blossom). Now, lets see if I can work out how to attach the piccie!

[LME]

Paper from 3 different lines/manufacturers
Chipboard
Blossoms/buttons
And for bonus gold stars.... fabric

[elwoodsusanm]

LME - this is lovely :)

[LME]

Thanks :)

I think I will go and try some of the old challenges for fun:wub:

I have spent so long making atcs and books I am rusty at cards:wacko:

[traceyjp1]

chip board from K & Company 3500 Piece Embellishment Extravaganza.
top paper from k & company.
green strip of paper from flower kit fom creat and craft.
bottom paper from anna griffin kit.
flowers and buttons from making memories blossoms & buttons in bloom box. fabric is felt flower fom same box.

[JAniemay]

This challenge is certainly that - a challenge !!

I'm not sure what the papers are - I raided my 'bits and pieces' box. All I can remember is that I got them at different times. The blossom is mounted on to a chipboard slider. The only thing I couldn't find was some fabric, but I'm sure there's some around somewhere. I just might have to have another go.

At least it gets the old grey matter working.

The red flowered is a piece of fabric I had left over from a dance costume I made for Dgd1.
Doodlebug corner chipboard. Papermania buttons MM eyelets and Prima flowers.

[JacquiT]

Thought I'd have another go at the challenge! (anything to get away from squabbling teenagers!) Think I've covered all elements - fabric heart, chipboard valentine plaque, blossoms/buttons and 3 pp (papermania, basic grey and another from my scrap pile - think it might be BG as well but from long ago!)

[Lighthousegirl]
