Good morning again from the Mollie half of the M & M 3 Kits 3 Ways Challenge duo.

A few weeks ago on October the 12th, in the General Digital Talk section of the DD forum, Crissy asked this question - “What was your first purchase here?” If you didn’t read this thread then, you might enjoy clicking on the link and seeing what some of our members have in their stash.  I am using three of the products from my very first order for today’s challenge kits.  That order was placed on Sunday, July 2nd 2006, and was for 13 items.  I hate to say it, but it was the first order of 14 pages worth of treasures in my Account!

For the challenge this week, I have chosen three of my favorites from that first order, and hope that you will enjoy using them just as CT members Debi {beehive50}, Mel {Britgirl} & Jill {luv2cre8} have for this 3K3W challenge! 

Remember, that you can add other products from the DD shop to these three, and recolor, resize & mix them up to your hearts content!

First is Clock Parts Element.  I love the old clock face, the gear, and the assorted hands . . . and, love that this element is such fun to use.

Next, I am using Brown Digital Stitches Element.  This series of basic stitches is perfect to give a handmade touch to your digital project.

You will enjoy using the Jefferson Paper Pack.  This great set of 5 patterned papers and 4 coordinating solids has a historical flavor. A kraft paper base and vintage maps, patterns and alphabets in yellow, red, blue and green.

Melanie {Britgirl} has used the three challenge products and several extras to complete this sweet page using a wonderful photograph of three of her children.  Memory Captured is just the perfect title for Mel’s page. 

Extras used by Mel are:  Alandia Collection (postage strip), Have a Heart Felt Vol 02, Coin Clusters brushes-n-stamps,Worn Page Edges, Distressed Tool Set No 07, Loosely Labeled Dates, Stamped Blocks No 05, Dirty words & Worn Edges mixed {both coming soon}.

And, what a timely page Jill {luvs2cre8} has created in Election 2008, by using the three products with great extras!  Jill took her camera to the polls last week . . . you will love looking at Jill’s photographs!  The clock face is certainly a great element to use for this day that has become a part of our history.

Jill’s extras are:  Stacked Dates Brushes, Filmed Layered Template No 06, Jouets Collection, and Botanist Notebook No 4 Kit (staples).

Debi {beehive50} has created another of her wonderful “signature” soccer layouts using a minimum of products for a great simple and effective page.  I would love to be able to create “simple” like Debi does!

Debi only used two extras:  Flossy Stitches - Brown, and Digital Date Stamps No. 02.

Thanks so much for stopping by the 3K3W challenge this week! If you’d like to join in on the challenge, we’d love to see your work. Just remember to post it in the 3 Kits 3 Ways Gallery.  Melanie, Debi & Jill will post their layouts in the 3K3W Gallery.  Merrilee and I will be posting ours there also!
