Each Monday, we all look forward to a challenge here on the October Afternoon blog. Today's challenge is a bit of a mixed bag. There are nine possible challenges!
Start by finding the number that corresponds with the first letter in your first name.
If your number is ten or higher, then add the two numerals together until you arrive at a single digit. For instance: Jill --> 10 --> 1 + 0 --> 1.
Based on the single-digit number, locate your challenge below, and have at it!
Since my number is one, I created a layout that includes a bold streak of bright yellow mist across the page as well as some busy triangle patterned paper.
I am crazy about the bright colors and fun patterns in the Daily Flash line, including those in the Girl Talk and All Boy collections. I also worked in a few tin pins from the "Good to Go" tin pin pack and the upcoming back-to-school line, as well as some Travel Girl tape.
Roree joined me for this week's challenge. Her number was nine (R --> 18 --> 1+8 --> 9), which means that she was tasked with incorporating a 3 x 3 grid on a project. I am amazed at how she worked the grid into this card!
Here's what Roree had to say about her innovative take on the challenge:
What a fun challenge! The number that corresponded with the first letter of my name totaled up to 9, so my challenge was to use a 3 x 3 grid with a total of nine items. I just love the new Girl Talk mini collection, so I knew I wanted to use it for my project. To start, I cut a piece of white cardstock and added nine gray polka dot patterned paper squares to it. I stitched along each row and column. I then adhered an owl die cut over0 the grid and trimmed off the excess (which I added behind the ears of the die cut). I added more die cut layers, some Travel Girl buttons and heart sticker, a Daily Flash "Good to Go" tin pin, and a bow to finish. The grid isn't really the focus of my project, but it makes a beautiful accent for my shaped card.
Beautifully done, Roree!
So are you ready to try your hand at this week's "wild card" challenge? I'd love to see them! Be sure to share your projects in the October Afternoon Flickr gallery!
