August 2026 Number Mix Challenge-WINNER
Congrats Creative gLori you are #25 and the winner this month, I will be sending your gift card shortly!

_______________________________________________________________________________________

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 26, 37, and 42 this month.  Any questions, please ask!

YOU WILL NEED TO USE:
26-More than 1 person in photo/photos

37-Use an ACOT weekly sketch challenge from this month (use July 30th through the Aug 27th sketch)
42-Splatter or stenciling

No, it is not the MMC, The weekly sketch challenges could be found under contests and challenges topic on the message board, or in the project gallery under contests and challenges.

I used this the sketch from July 30, #487. The splatter is to the left of the photos (green splatter), and the photos are of my family enjoying a Christmas tradition, and a summer camping tradition.
