    I haven’t tried a Dare before. Does it matter where our layout resides (should it be in a digital gallery or can it be on a blog?)? The team made such wonderful layouts, I am inspired to try!

  2. Traci says:

    Hi Kimberlee! It doesn’t matter where it is, as long as you can link us to it!

    Here’s my first attempt at digital scrapbooking! It was fun – and congrats on 3 years! LOVE this kit! I don’t usually do layouts digitally, but do cards, etc which this kit is perfect for!

  10. Kristin (SmallMoments) says:

    Here’s mine! I took 3s farther by using three different designers, using three of each of my elements (sewn stars, sewn doodles, and three light sabers), AND having three parts to my date. :) That was fun! Thanks! And Happy Anniversary!!!

    Love the challenge! Haven’t done a digi-dare in forever.

    I posted mine on my blog:
    http://paper-cat.blogspot.com/2009/11/on-roll.html

    I scrapped photos of 3 of the girls in my family: me and my 2 daughters.
    Another 3 theme? I placed my elements on 3 sides of the page – the design looks like a triangle :)

  12. Penny says:

    I thought I would use all Valerie Brown items in my layout. The 3 papers are all from Spring Rain. The three buttons are from SugarBaby. The 3 alphas are from Spring Rain, SugarBaby & Sweet Noel. I also used 3 fonts, Whoobub, Another Typewriter & Notepad. We’re going to the Wetlands again tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it! Thanks for the fun!

  13. Ferryl aka mmefifi says:

    Great challenge, but I couldn’t decide, fun or serious, so this is sort of both, and I wanted us to look purty (pretty)! So here are the extras: The photos are 3 different wedding photos, 3 fonts, 3 frames,3 glitter splotches, and 3 papershapers. (diamonds, row of beads, hearts)
