scrap therapy - monthly theme challenge

while scoping out the scrap therapy challenge forums and galleries, i came across the monthly "theme" challenge amongst all the other things going on over there.(i get dizzy just thinking about it)
this months challenge is to create a layout that features ABC and 123. you need to use something that starts with the letter A, letter B and letter C, and you also need to use 1 of an item, 2 of another item and 3 of another item.
hmmmm....sounds easy enough - not entirely
here is how i justified my entry, to fit the criteria.

A - altered alphas coloured/dimensioned (they were white)
B - basic grey paper
C - chip alphas/crystalina kindy glitz on flowers (bit of a stretch)
1 - heart fastener
2 - journalling tags
3 - crystal bling / 3 word title

even though this picture was taken at the beach, i really loved the colours she was wearing so i based the page on those instead.
another challenge i find quite interesting is the "man of the month". (man = manufacturer) details and entry will be forthcoming....
just waiting for my photos to arrive...yay!...stay tuned...
