Use at least 5 different patterned papers on you page. You can choose your own theme, but get as many different papers on there as you can!
Winners are usually selected randomly for a monthly prize but this week Cosmo Cricket have kindly sponsored us and our DT as they did last week, so Amanda will be choosing a winner for this challenge! The prize (The delovely collection) will be awarded to the person who makes the best use of multiple papers!

Despite my big love of Cosmo Cricket, I was incredibly intimidated by the bright colours in these papers and spent a lot of time deciding how to use as little of it as possible whilst still sticking to the challenge! After about a week of staring at them, I decided to try a different approach: See how much bright happiness I could get on my page without it looking over the top. Did it work? You decide!

These papers are so fun. Perfect for my girlie's birthday party pics.
As the papers are very BRIGHT and bold, I decided to use little bits to not go too over board.

I really enjoyed this challenge and ended up using 9 different patterned papers from the Cosmo Cricket delovely line - 10 if you count the white journaling strips, which is the back of the front sheet in the pack! :-)

I've used my scallop punch to play with a bunch of patterned paper I have on hand. It was a lovely way to use my paper in this way. The scallops form a background layer for my photos, and another layer at the bottom of the page. This was so much fun and so simple to make. The white cardstock was misted using a mask from the Basic Grey 'Doillies' collection.
Journaling says: I love your smile, your laughter, your quirks and even your temper. I love your voice and your hugs. And I love you.

There is nothing I love more than mixing a whole bunch of patterns! I went back to the DeLovely collection by Cosmo Cricket for this page. A bold, bright choice when the challenge is to use 5 (or more) patterns, but I knew this collection would totally suit my sunny, happy beach pictures. So here's what I made:
I used 5 patterns, plus a few of the cards from the paper collection. Here's a close up of the stitching - machine stitching at the perimeter and on the 'waves' then French knots in the centers of the little flowers.
Materials: patterned paper: Cosmo Cricket (DeLovely), cardstock: Bazzill; letter stickers: Basic Grey; flower punch: Martha Stewart; string: Stampin Up; curvy trimmer: Creative Memories; felt button: floss: Making Memories; craft supply
