Welcome to the NUMBER MIX CHALLLENGE!

Every month this same list of 75 numbers with items will be posted.  Each number will have an item/items listed.  I will use a random number generator to choose 3 numbers on the list and your project will need to have those 3 items on it.  Some numbers will have a choice so hopefully it won’t be too difficult.  Some months may be more challenging depending on the “mix” that comes up.  Open to any paper project….Layouts, Journals, Cards, Tags etc.  Though if one of the items chosen for that month cannot fit a certain project it would probably not be possible, for instance if “photos” has been chosen it probably couldn’t be a card for that month.  Very lenient on the rules.  If, say “button” is chosen it can be a real button, button on patterned paper, a button punch, die cut, button stamp etc.
  
Here are the random number generator’s 3 numbers chosen this month:  So you will need to use numbers 32, 40, and 57 this month.  Any questions, please ask!

YOU WILL NEED TO USE:
32-Distressing or Paper Tearing
40-Food Item
57-Button

Interesting combination for this challenge mix!

[Sandi0805]

Here's a layout of my grandkids enjoying some ice cream treats on a hot summer day.  

I used distress ink on the edges of my paper strips.   I have a Mickeiy button by the title and a die cut ice cream treat for the food.

Question - does the food item need to be an embellishment or can it be in a photo? Also, would a beverage count as a food item?

Hello Louise, it can be either in the photo or embellishment and yes, I'll count a beverage as a food item.  TY!
