Good morning girls ... it is Mollie from the M & M team of Mollie & Merr with a new 3 Kits 3 Ways challenge for you.  I think that you will love the three bright and fun Designer Digitals products this week.  I know that I thought each of them lots of fun and interesting to play with.

The 3 Kits are:

Percentage Wise Kit by Lynn Grieveson

Chunky Labelmaker Strips by Katie Pertiet

Paint on Canvas by MaryAnn Wise

Lynnie {grandma lynnie} took photos of her granddaughter having her first root beer float for this cute page.  Don’t you just love the curved row of MMMMMs that Lynnie used along with “delicious” for the title of this layout?

Lynnie used Pattie’s Speed Byte No. 135 as her only extra.

Jess’s {jesshunt} JOY layout of her son is so original . . . I just love how Jess used the colored papers to make Katie’s tree work for her!  Jess used only two other products for her page other than the challenge kits.  Katie’s Country Roads Kit & Pattie’s Fasten Its! No. 02.

Our last example layout is from Bailey {Starlite9711}.  This page is so sweet with the photo of Bailey’s youngest little one.  Magical is a great title for this one Bailey. 

Bailey used the following extra:  Botany 101 Papers, Pinned Notes, Vintage Frames No. 15, Winged Corners Brushes and Stamps, Scatterings , Flutterby Torn ‘N Tattered Templates No. 01, Natures Best Flowers & Worn Page Edges No. 02.

I am going to be out of town for a couple of weeks, and unless I can make a quick trip to Starbucks I may not have internet access.  I hate that I am going to miss seeing your pages pop up in the 3Kits 3 Ways Gallery . . . but I will definitely check it out at the first opportunity!  Remember that for your pages, you use at least one item from each of the three kits from the challenge and any other Designer Digitals products from the store that you wish {or no other if you are a purist}. Merrilee & I will love to see them!

Welcome to a new week! We’re kicking it off with a super fun Daily Dose challenge! This week we’re pulling inspiration from the gorgeous layout by Wendy McKeehan on the June 22 page of the Daily Dose Calendar. I absolutely love the depth and character her distressing adds to the page. So this week, we want to see all the creative ways you can use brushes to distress your layouts.
