I guess this challenge is mine and it is my first time hosting so be patient with me. My favorite challenges are the template ones so that's what I'm choosing for the challenge. This one comes from www.pagemaps.com, June 2009 and I picked it because it reminds me of a patchwork quilt.

So - the assignment is:

pull out your stack of patterned paper that you've been saving for that special page (hah!)
use at least 4 patterns
and include journaling and/or a title
put your own spin on the template!

I'll post mine as soon as I do it and there will be a prize - not sure what yet but there'll be something.

A winner will be chosen on 6/24, sometime after dinner, and I'll do the draw out of the hat method.

Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Ok .... here is my take on it - it is not exactly the same, but I was definately inspired by the map ... I normally don't use SO MANY patterns on one page :lmao:

This is adorable! I love your take on the map and your use of papers worked great! Plus, it doesn't have to be exactly the same, just use it as a starting block. Love it and thanks so much for playing!!!

Alright, here's my entry. Except I'm not really sure it counts, but I wanted to post it and leave the eligibility up to you, vanyel. Here's my story:

My boyfriend actually did this page! I'm so proud of him. He picked out the photo (except I was going to use the same one anyway, so it worked out), he picked the paper (as you can see, he's definitely colorblind... :lmao:), I gave him some measurements to cut with the Cutterpede - and he did. He messed one up, but decided to fix it with the little yellow piece. He even used the ATG to glue them down, not realizing how sticky it is, and then when he messed up the measurements, he had stuck down the big blue piece, and couldn't move it up. Oh well. He even picked out the Dew Drop color!

The only real input I had on this was the blue piece of paper that the title is on, the title itself, and the measurements of the paper. I wish I could have not had him use that red paper, but oh well.

Up to you to decide if you want it to be eligible. If you do, it can go in under his name, and if it comes to it, I can always have him make the next challenge - he actually said he would be willing to scrap with me again! :eek:
Anddddd.... here it is!

Of course I'll count it and you two can fight it out if you win :) It's really cute and the red paper gives it that "pop" of color decorators always talk about it. It looks great!

alright, I've given up... 4 patterned papers is too much outside my element... I tried everything... templated one and DH said you didn't adhere that together, did ya? At that point, I knew I didn't have the talent for this challenge...
BUT, thanks for making me attempt it!

Nancy - Try again once more. It was hard for me too, but I found that if I got patters with colors that were all in the same family it finally worked. Maybe post what you have (not glued down) and we can help you figure out what is off :grouphug:

Sending you some pixie dust :wizard:

Oh Nancy, you can do it! Try working with papers that come together - like a dcwv stack - think patchwork quilt - everything doesn't have to match.

I didn't think this challenge was that hard :sad2:

I was not sure if I would make it in, but I did! :cool1: This was a challenge, but here is my page...

Vanyel, I took your quilt idea and ran with it! I was skeptical as I was making this, but I love the final results. I think the stitching really brings it all together.

It is a little different from the map, I hope that is okay. :goodvibes I had to get my journaling in there! :lmao:

Thanks for a making me think outside the box on this one! :hippie:

I love this! The stitching is a great idea - I might have to add some to my layout. :thumbsup2 Changing the map is part of the process - it's so fun to see what others do with the template!

Wow! Thank you very much, vanyel. He's coming over today, so I'll show him this and we'll try to decide on a challenge. I already have a few ideas bouncing around, so we'll see if we can agree on something.

It will be up by the end of the night, because I'm going to New York City tomorrow for the day.
