I've been collecting pretty paper for a VERY long time ... and I do mean a LONG time. Sometimes I just buy patterned paper because it's so lovely ... NO clue what I'm gonna do with it ... and I can't bring myself to use some of it sometimes!!
This week's challenge is quite simple ... use at least TWO different patterned papers in your creation ... and feel free to use more than that (I technically used THREE in mine, even though two of them are the same pattern, just different colors!). BONUS to this challenge: Use some paper you have been AVOIDING using because it was just too pretty to cut up!!! You'll be happy that you did!!
Uploading: Remember the keyword is without spaces. Use a comma between keywords with a space after each comma.
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

Had fun combining some plaids and dots for the Pretty Patterned paper challenge today- along with a paper pieced and sponged image from SU's Close To Nature. My sentiment is from Seeds of Friendship, embossed on craft dp. Added some dc dots for fun, along with a button/ribbon/twine combo. Here's Friendship

Had fun using black and tan dotted and diamond patterned dps, and 2 wallpaper samples for my side vertical borders. Added some additional texture with a honeycomb embossed background, and a fabric daisy with a floral brad. Here's Beehive Collage Have a happy Friday!

I colored and colored and colored this flower all morning and half the afternoon - turns out the fifth one was the charm. Geesh!

My dear Wendy ....
I shall hope to play in your challenge indeed! Why? Because apparently we are 'sisters from another mother' in this pretty paper buying-saving-keeping-hoarding issue!
Thanks for the just-what-I-needed-challenge!
Just now realizing this was posted last week, but so glad to be home & finally getting something completed that I'm not tossing! LOL
