Great example with your items! This should be interesting. I've marked down my items. 

This is such a clever challenge! I can't wait to see what my colors are!

I hope you like them!

Wow - fun!!  Finishing up another page here at my crop & gone all day tomorrow but hopefully I can do this one on Monday.

QUESTIONS:
is the number of photos the minimum amount or can we post more than the minimum?
Does lace qualify  as a trim?
since I usually do double page layouts.  Is it ok to submit 2 pages as 1?  Is there a limit to use different kinds of paper?
example 3 shades of purple cardstock
what if our pictures have other colors in the background?
Finally.....How can we find our answers we posted the other Day?  I'm not sure what shoes I chose.

I'm having trouble finding my original selections, do you mind linking that up in the comments here?

Awesome - love my choices but since I'm about to pass out, I'll be working on this one is a day or two!!! Thanks for the fabulous challenge Anne-Marie!

The number of photos listed is the only amount to use for the challenge. Lace does qualifty as trim. You could totally do a double-page layout. You can use any amount of paper as long as it fits into your "dress" so 3 shades would work. Your pictures don't have to go by the color scheme but all your supplies do. 

And I will find the original link and link it here. I knew something was missing LOL!!! 

I love your choices!!! This will be fun!!! I'm with Chris I'm tired!!!

It's a lot to chew on, Chris! I was even stumped because the things DD picked for me are not the things I would have picked for myself! 

Thanks for those answers...but I have another 2...
I cannot use glitter or STICKLES  BUT I can use Washi tape I have some that is glitter already.  Is this Acceptable?  SAME WITH LACE, I have pearls already sewn into the lace,  but I'm not allowed to use gems and pearls trims.
about the flowers.  Am I allowed to use silk or satin ribbon flowers?  I can use brads and eyelets...I have jeweled brads. 

I know what my layout will be and look like, but these accessories kind of overlap each other.  

I'm unable to open that link znd I can't cut and paste it on my URL line.

I think the glittery washi sounds great - totally acceptable (because glittery washi is always awesome LOL!) and if the lace has pearls on it, I think that is fine too since the main thing is that it's lace. As long as it's not the loose pearls (like enamel dots). Any kind of flowers are okay - I just don't want flowers on patterned paper to count. Every other kind of flower will count though.

Does it work now? I just got Windows 10 and am still learning it lol. I did something different and now it seems clicky? Sorry, ack!
