1,2,3 Challenge

For those of you who don't know 123 Challenge, pop over and check it out. Basically there are three criteria that you need to follow each month.

Catching up on Dec, the criteria were Colour - Pink, Word - Oh and Technique - Tissue Paper
I went a bit crazy with the whole tissue paper thing but it was fun all the same.

Jan challenge is: Colour - Purple, Word - Beautiful and Technique/Product - Punches
This was extremely hard to do because I am not a purple fan when it comes to scrapping (thanks Mel. You have to say something nice about purple if you comment).
I love the colour itself but cannot use it on a LO. I even bought some paint to mist with so I will now have to use purple again. (and for some reason, this was really had to take a photo of. Tried it at all different times of day but it still came out a bit dark).

Both of these are very different to what I would normally scrap but that's the fun of challenges hey? Thinking outside the square!!!

Hope you have a great day. It is hot and windy in Melbourne today so off to the SIL's pool this afternoon.
Nick is turning 40 on Sunday so I really should think about getting organised.

    Jas these are both stunning for different reasons. The first because its so buy and rich and the cluster of embellies and flower go so well together. The second because its simpler and more detailed. I love the punched butterfly effect. Its simply gorgeous..You have done an amazing job! Happy 40th to hubby!

    OMG Jas... ADORE all the layered tissue paper on your pink 123 LO.. just fantastic!! and your purple is divine... I LOVE butterflies and this MS punch is one of my favs!! I wonder what it is about purple!!! I think the colour is so pretty, especially if you add some green to soften it. Haven't started mine yet. I've picked out some papers but not sure on the photo. Happy Birthday to hubby and hope your have a fab time :) hugs
