She moaned "NOOOOOOO!"
She may or may not have said a few unprintable words!

WOW, so many things out of my zone!!! This will sure be a challenge for me as well!

I should have figured you'd make us go the opposite. NO pattern paper??? I think I might rather give up tea and cheese.
Super fun and very creative with CHALLENGE being the right word. (I guess turnabout is fair play given I did the same to many with my challenges - HA HA)
Holding my place along with reminder of what my choices translate to

Right? The nerve - she gave me NO pattern paper but I have to use Bling. HA HA HA Book me on the next space shuttle cuz I am way out of my normal orbit. But I think it is awesome as it is going to make me pull out neglected tools and techniques to bling up that cardstock. WOW - I even managed t usae the word "bling". Does that count?
Lisa - Scrappy Distractions
For me too!!
Always love your challenges! Makes me think! Now I gotta go see what answers I gave you earlier!
only cardstock?!?! LOL! This will be tough but challenge accepted
I think you forgot to add the requirement of "if you usually do 12x12 do this one as a 3x3 but still squeeze in three photos, a teradactyl, and a title in ancient greek". HA HA (we love you!)

My 15 year old granddaughter...she was checking to see how I was doing on layouts...
