January Weekly Challenge - Pick and Mix Challenge #3

Hi Leo here again to bring you the next in the new series of weekly challenges for January. 

We're now on to week three. If you need to catch up with the previous two weeks you can see week one here and week two here.

The new weekly challenge is called:

Pick and Mix

In front of me I have a box of sweeties. Inside the box I've mixed in tokens, each with a different challenging element for you to use in creating your finished project.

How it works:

For each new week I'll pick out five tokens. You'll need to use all five prompts on that week's challenge layout. Once each token has been picked out I won't put them back in the sweetie box so we won't get any duplicate challenges. You can complete the weekly challenges in any order. I'll post a new one up every week until 29th January. Each new challenge will be posted here on the blog and also in the Facebook Group for you to follow along with.

Complete all the Pick and Mix weekly challenges to be eligible for an extra goody in your next kit box! The closing date to complete all four of your Pick and Mix challenge projects will be Tuesday 5th February 2019. All projects must be new projects made specifically for this challenge. You can use any stash you choose.

Ready to see the third challenge?

Here are the next picks:

1. Use the colour blue.
2. Use the colour yellow.
3. Re-use packaging in some way on your page. This could be directly or a part of a mixed media technique.
4. Cut your own embellishments from white card and mix them with your ready made ephemera. Extra tips - these could be punched out shapes or machine cut out/die cut or things like hand cut leaves or even just circles or squares to highlight/showcase your ephemera.
5. Use a bow embellishment. It could be a ready made one from your stash or one you make yourself with ribbon, or twine etc.

Once you've finished your creation upload it to your platform of choice.

For Instagram tag @craftytemplates and mention it's for the Pick and Mix challenge.

For Facebook add it to the Quirky Kits Group - they'll be a post for each new challenge there to share it to or else mention it's for the Pick and Mix challenge when you share it.

For blog add a link to your project from your blog in the comments below any of the Pick and Mix challenge posts.

Or if you'd prefer to keep your project private you can email them directly to Leonora@craftytemplates.com

For the Pick and Mix challenges I'm going to leave open ended what your finished project is so you can create a scrapbook page or a mini book or a pocket page or a card or a travellers notebook page etc etc. I'll leave it up to you what you choose to do. I've also left out any prompts relating to the photo/s so if you have specific photos you want to get scrapped these prompts aren't going to stop you using the photos you want, just push you with a helping hand on the things to pick out, make and do.

Have fun!

Look out for the final pick and mix challenge being posted up next Tuesday, 22nd January.
