Cynthia Corbett and ScrappyRN74 your gift cards will be on the way!
January 2026 NUMBER MIX Challenge
Welcome to a new challenge, hope it will be fun for all! 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.
YOU WILL NEED TO USE:
24—Journaling Strips or word stickers, 2 or more (don’t make it the title)
28—double mat on anything
41—title more than one color
