Day 11 - Giving it all You've Got!

I have to say that I think it's great that so many of you are going back and picking up challenges when you have time. I know that that is how I make cards - almost always in bunches when I have a chunk of time.



If you are joining us for the first time, WELCOME!!! I have noticed several new people this week, and it's sounds like the word is definitely out about 365! If you already know that you don't have time to make all the cards, but you like the daily inspiration, check back often because you never know what the next challenge is going to be. If you don't get the most cards made this month, we start out fresh in April, if you're interested in going for that monthly prize. If you know that you won't get the most cards made, but you are still playing along when you can, there will be the chance to win a weekly prize down the road, which brings me to the next thing I want to mention.





We have THREE super cool sponsors lined up over the next couple of months, and there will be opportunities for weekly, and even daily prizes. In April, we have one whole week set aside for a series of related challenges, with the chance to win a fabulous prize. There will be more details in the weeks ahead, so stay tuned for that. I will also give you another sneak peek at this month's prize tomorrow.





And finally, we get to today's challenge. Those of you who like to load your cards up with lots of patterned paper and embellies will like this one. We challenge you to use 5 different patterned papers and at least 5 embellishments. I wasn't sure if this would be too much, but after seeing DT member Kristie's card, I was certain that it could be done, and done very nicely I might add. Check this out:


I love the purple buttons with the black and white papers - stunning!!

Okay 365ers - give it all you've got!

WOW! This will be an interesting one. I know what I want to do with the papers, but I've got to come up with the embellies. See you later!

Kristie, this is stunning!

Here is one I made a month or so ago. It has 6 different BG papers and if you count the flowers and brads, bling...I have at least 5 embellies. (wink)

Fun challenge and another great way to use up some scraps.

Rose said...

This was a fun challenge. I am not big on bling (yet) so hope the 5 beads on stick-pins count :-)
Not sure if I will catch up on the days I missed but will try.
