Thought I'd go ahead and post an early bird challenge since I'm seeing alot of wonderful cherries here this morning!

I want you to use THEMED PAPER, but not for the 'theme' it was meant for.

I'm often doing this lately. My sports themed papers don't necessarily match my grandkids' uniforms so I use the prints that match and work for other sports. I've done the same with Halloween papers as my granddaughter's school team colors are orange and black and my sports themed paper don't always match. I've also used Christmas papers for other things because I needed the color combo. Some lines are really versatile!

Here are a few examples....

I used Basketball Themed Papers for my grandson's Baseball photos.
Baseball Star


I used Soccer Themed Paper for my granddaughter's Softball photos.
HomeRun Slugger!


I used Glitz Design Halloween Paper for my granddaughter's Softball photos.
I {heart} Softball


So, put your thinking caps on and use those THEMED PAPERS for something else!

A random winner will be drawn for 500 sprinkles! Random sprinkling for participation also.

For the fine print.... This can be a paper or digital layout only. All work must be new. Limit of 1. Please link your work here and in the NSD Gallery Folder here. Deadline is Friday, May 12th Midnight.

NO COMBINING ALLOWED FOR NSD CHALLENGES!

Love this - I recently used a Christmas collection for a non-Christmas page so I'm sure I can come up with something fun.

Cool challenge, Deanna.  Sounds like fun.

Great start for me.  My high school colors were orange & black..and I'm trying to redo my old scrapbooks from the 70s.  The ones that just had paper and you taped stuff to the page.  Now if I could lighten those pictures up.  That paper Kodak used back then darken them .  My little 110 Instamatic Camera took good pictures though.  I still have the negatives.  Wonder if they develop those anymore.  I have a whole drawer of filmy rolls from all my different cameras that needs developed.

Fun!  Great layouts, Deanna!

I'm glad we have till Friday to upload pictures of our stuff.  Maybe by then I will have figured out how to post on thread using my tablet.  If not I'll have to whip out my laptop and wait a couple hours while it runs all the windows updates.  Since I bought this Samsung tablet, I use it all the time.  THE android operating system is much easier to use and since it's wireless I can send any printing jobs to my printer in my craftroom.  It takes the best pictures and watching HD movies is great.

ok I digress...now to dig out the Halloween paper and pictures.

[JillinIN]

This is a great challenge. It's a chance to use some of those papers that I didn't think I'd have any use for, but held on to ... just in case.

Really like this - I"m going to have to think about it tho!  I may be asking some questions LOL

[keatonsgtgram]

Deanna I'm so stash oriented anymore that I'm completely in tune with this challenge. Great examples!

Silly question--is this your 9am challenge, Deanna?  I thought this was an extra early-bird one that you threw in there and that there was going to be another one from you...
