It's time for a new Dynamic Duo challenge. This challenge will focus on a LO design element or technique and a photo and/or journaling element each month.

This month's challenge is based on sparkles and shapes. Now, onto the challenge - my challenge for you is to use glitter alphas and/or bling (swirls, gemstones, etc.) on your LO AND to use shaped pattern paper and/or odd sized photo(s) (sizes other than 4x6, 5x7).

Your LO may contain just the design elements (shaped pattern paper and/or glitter/bling) and/or odd sized photo(s) - it's up to you!

Here's my take on the challenge - I included everything - glitter alphas, gemstones, shaped pattern paper, and an odd sized photo (4 3/8 x 7.5):


Remember to link your LO to this post by midnight the last day of the month for a chance to receive the Dynamic Duo challenge charm!

Enjoy. I can't wait to see your creations!

[Peggy]

the pictures are 2 1/2 x 3 1/2; there is bling for the butterfly antennae and stickles on the felt butterfly. I don't' have much for shaped pp, made a shaped journaling block.

[mommy5x]

Wonderful work.

[Peggy]

thank you Michelle

[kathi_minikatie]

Great page Peggy! And not to worry - you've got the challenge covered with the bling and odd sized photos even if you didn't use any shaped paper - love the shaped journaling spot though.

[stampomaticmama]

okey kathi i think i did the same thing LOL and missed the shaped pape too, unless my hand cut waves count as shaped paper it is cut card stock and aslo my jounaling block is shaped not sure tho thats what you were aiming for .. but i cropped my pic's all three, to odd sizes and i have the bling!!

[rbarakat]

Love it ladies! Great challange too! I may have to try again to meet all these March challenges!

[kathi_minikatie]

Anna, it's perfect - the challenge is bling and shaped paper or odd-sized photos (or all if you want) - so your LO is perfect!

[scrapnnMO]

Ok I used bling swirls and my photo is 3 by 6 in size. I cut it down from a 5 by 7 to take out all the noice in the photo.

[kathi_minikatie]

Dawn, it's perfect for this challenge - love the older photo!

[Peggy]

Great page Peggy! And not to worry - you've got the challenge covered with the bling and odd sized photos even if you didn't use any shaped paper - love the shaped journaling spot though.
