We Three Kings ...

Okay, this week's title is a bit of a stretch ... but just like there were three kings ... we want to see three (or more) different pieces of patterned paper in your card design this week.

They can all be the same company ... even the same collection ... or you can totally mix-it up ... but we want to see three different patterned papers in your design.

And joining us for this week's prompt is a wonderful sponsor who specializes in fabulous designer papers ... Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker.

She has graciously donated a 6x6" pad of her Happy Holly-Days paper, as well as several 12" sheets including stickers and die cut shapes to one lucky participant this week.

We are also thrilled that the very talented Julie Tucker-Wolek is joining us as a Lovely Guest Star this week. Julie is a member of Nikki's Doghouse Diva's Design Team. She can also be found on her blog Life with the Tucker & Wolek Clan.

Julie's Card

Julie says, "My card combines papers from three different lines from Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker ~ Beatrice, Happy Holly-Days, and North Pole Nights."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "i try not to leave my jingle belles card to the very last minute, but that's what happened this week. luckily i happened to see the current waltzingmouse sketch, which has to be the best EVER if you want to combine loads of different patterns. i've got *17* papers from 12 different companies on here, and nearly ALL of them were from my scrap box. i am absurdly proud of myself right now, lol!" :)

Stephanie's Card

Stef says, "I used one paper from My Mind's Eye (the polka dot base) and three more from Echo Park's Wintertime Collection. The hot cocoa mug sticker is from Echo Park, and I added a pearl Flourish for some steam. The sketch is this week's CPS & sentiment is Penny Black.

Now it's time to see what you can put together with your patterned papers ... maybe you'll break into some new ones ... or maybe you'll go through your scraps and see what inspires you ... whatever you do, have FUN ... and make sure you incorporate three (or more) different patterned papers.
