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?

[Louly]

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

[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. 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!

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! 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.

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!

[Mystik Nat]

Woohoo!!! Go Jac!!

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

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