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.

Laura_my_day 

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.

Laura_my_day_detail2 

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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!
