*Happy New Year, friends!*

Despite the busy holiday weeks, the girls have already been super busy creating for the new year. The challenge this month?

1!

Uno.         Un.         Eins.          ONE!

That was all the instruction that was given, so the girls took it far and away on their own, delighting as usual!

Khristen

I tried to stick with one manufacturer and line, but didn't have CP alphas. So: one patterned paper (CP Farmhouse), one cardstock, one mist (Mister Huey in Clay), one color bling (Cotton Candy Stickles), one alpha (MM Dilly Dally), one chipboard (CP Farmhouse), one trim which I gathered at one end (CP Farmhouse), one border (CP Farmhouse), one sticker (CP Farmhouse), one journal box die cut (CP Farmhouse) and one picture. Used one color of Spectrum Noir marker for the journaling to complement the blues in the layout and photo.

Kimmy

I used ONE in the title, one mist, one mask, one sticker, one bling, one piece of card stock,one photo, one chipboard swirl, one stamp, one color of ink,one ribbon, one cardboard die cut (the bracket shape) and only used one font per word in my title. 

Linda

Here is my January layout. I used one picture, one manufacturer (except for the flowers) and one sticker. I also only used one piece of paper to create the squares and other pp embellies.
I was hoping to do something more with this challenge, but after the month I've had, I'm just happy to get it finished.
Lindsey, do I need to email this to you, too?

Have a wonderful New Year, Ladies!

Lindsey

This challenge ended up a fix to an old, unfinished layout gone awry.I tore everything off except for the old school arrow, reduced the pictures from 2 to 1, and then redecorated it with the "one" rule. I have one background paper, one patterned paper, one arrow, one rickrack, one word title, one paper flower, one felt flower, one fabric flower, one brad, one bling (cut into 2!), one journaling card, one photo, one polka dotted strip, one rub-on, one button with one string, one border, one ribbon.
My challenges on this layout were using pink and red together, and getting the look on McKenna's face to shine through!

Lisa

Here is my One layout. I have one Patterned paper, transparency, doily, mist, felt swirl, sticker, metal snowflake, border, ribbon, rubon, paper clip, flag, chipboard snowflake, button, one word title, ticket, pearl, journaling spot, tag, snowflake, baker's twine, and brad.

Michelle

I had a bit of a hard time with this because I tend to repeat shapes in my layouts. So I just kept it as simple as possible- I used some Basic Gray paper, Crate chipboard, a snowflake ornament and some wrapping paper. I broke out the sewing machine for the edges- I really like messy ends all over a page. The journaling reads: "It's the small gentle moments, the unexpected pauses which make memories that last a lifetime."

Tess (new dt chick!)

I have used one of everything (if you count the buttons as one small button and one large button!! I have used 1 colour and the number 1 in the title!! Wow that was a fun challenge to start with.

Tiffany (new dt chick!)

ok, here goes, my first LO as a True XOXO girl!! I have one of each: chipboard number 1, sheet from an old address book, photo, pattern paper (Close to my Heart), crocheted flower (Stampin Up), metal clip, ribbon, scallop punch, embossed scallop stamp (powder-Ranger, stamp- Stampin Up). Hmm...think that about covers it! So much fun to do the "Uno" challenge!!

Alaina

One of EACH: sheet Bazzill Dotted Swiss, CI paper, strip of other side of paper, sticker border, scalloped snowflake border rubon, ruffled grosgrain ribbon, red/green string of sequins, bottle cap, Bath and Body Works reindeer gift card, Build-a-Bear heart, holiday newspaper archive film strip, red/green photo turn, green brad, pink velvet brad, silver sequin rickrack trim, felt flower, beaded snowflake, fabric/bling candy cane brad, snowflake brad, brown bling, red arrow, blue arrow, Santa sticker, tiny red button, silver stud, Santa's helper tag, gold bow, epoxy sticker, green gem, blue velvet brad, pink bling, snowflake blink, sting of pearls, green glittered strip of double sided tape, red wire, gold bow, Good/Bad list button, printed decorative tape, and one photo of one silly elf.

Cheryl

Here's my ONE layout for January. Ever since Michelle Hernandez's all-white page, I've wanted one myself. Anyway, here it is. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Christa (new dt chick!)

This challenge got me to thinking about that great Broadway tune and how my daughter really is a siingular sensation! I used a few 'ones' in my design as well..can you spot them?

This was super fun! (Pink Paislee Snowy Day)

Emma

Just emailed Lindsey my January 2012 take on the challenge. This is a layout for our 12th wedding anniv we celebrated last Dec 11. Used one manufacturer (Webster's) for the paper and sticker, one photo, one ribbon, one photo turner, one bling, one flower, one transparency (clock), one baker's twine, should be one word title but I added "years" and forgot my intent to just put "12"...Happy New Year everyone, have a blessed one!

Faye

This one was tricky... I used one flower, one piece of lace, one piece of pattern paper, one checker, one spritz of paint, and one rub-on. Using only one of something is a lot harder than it sounds. The pictures are of my cat Rory. She is obsessed with shoes. As soon as I take them off she likes to get in them. Doesn't matter what pair, she loves them all!

Jaclyn

i used:
1 frame
1 cardstock
photos from 1 event
1 letter sticker
1 diecut
1 flourish
1 bow
1 chipboard

this is me and my bf during my Senior college prom {that would be 3 years ago...LOL}
