    I'm a little confused on this one, so hope I did this right for the bonus entry! I used 3 different stripes, and I clipped patterned papers to the clouds.

    I was definitely challenged by patterned papers. I may have gone a bit wild going through my Pink Reptile Design products and playing with the stripes. Good fun. I, also, wanted to be sure I got the bonus entries to I clipped patterned papers to the banner strips at the top of the page.

    I will go for a bonus-I made a messy mask and used one of your Washi tapes with it. (No 3) I also used A LOT of stripes and made more striped paper using the C-Thrus as a mask.

    Looks great ... For the challenge you just have to use 3 different PPs on your page (any way you want) .... OR to get a bonus entry (total of 2 entries) you can follow one of the 3 way rules for using PPs and you would get 2 entries instead of 1 entry. Sorry for any confusion! Your page definitely works for the 2 entries! :)
