As promised, here is the first installment of layouts I've created while following HMITM.blogspot.com challenges.
This one is for Challenge #22: 7 patterned papers + 14 flowers + 21 stickers. That's me in the platinum dress. ;)
Here is Challenge #23: 5 types of fabric (ribbons) + 5 buttons + 5 rub-ons + 5 tags + 5 different colors.Next is challenge #24: 20 different manufacturers. To the best of my memory, since I do not store my supplies by manufacturer, everything here is made by a different company. Some of the items are even handmade.Challenge #25: Exactly 100 things, excluding cardstock, patterned papers, photos, ink, and paint. I've started a collection of Story People (story-people.com) prompted layouts with this page. More to come. :) HMITM Challenge #26: 50 pieces of chipboard. I punched 50 butterflies from a sheet of chipboard, and I absolutely love the results! I added gold and silver tiny rhinestones to each butterfly, so the layout actually sparkles a lot more than shown. This one is for Challenge # 27: 10 patterned papers + 10 buttons + 10 stickers. There's that butterfly punch again (it's the one from Martha Stewart). For the journaling spots, I simple punched a circle and traced around it in white gelly roll pen, free-handed lines, and voila!
Last, but not least, Challenge #28: 30 pieces of ribbon. I let my son choose all of these ribbons. Later, after the page was finished, I noticed a theme. If you look for the shamrock ribbon (under the first "L" in the title) and continue clockwise around the photo, you get this: St. Patrick's Day, which is right after his birthday, then 4th of July, follwed by Halloween, and eventually Christmas closes the gap. A whole year, coming full circle, until it is finally his birthday agin. Isn't that neat? I wish I had done that on purpose!

There isn't a layout here I don't love. Thank you HMITM!
