A Cherry on Top - Manufacturer with a Twist Challenge

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I can never resist a good crafting challenge!

One of my absolute favorites is the Manufacturer with a Twist Challenge over at A Cherry on Top. I always try my best never to miss it. Why? Because it pushes me right out of my comfort zone and forces me to pay closer attention to the different manufacturers in my stash.

Now, I do usually face a bit of a struggle with this one. Almost all of my papers are digital downloads, and I have accumulated a massive online library of collections over the years. If I relied on just a few go-to sources for my supplies, this challenge might be easier—but where is the fun in that? 

The Challenge Rules

For this round, the rules were super creative:

1. The Base: Use any letter from the words MAY or JUNE.
2. The Twist: Take one letter from your chosen manufacturer's name, and add a physical item to your project that starts with that same letter.

My Project Take

For my base, I chose the letter N from JUNE.

I paired it with the manufacturer Nothing but Freebies. For the twist, I grabbed the letter E from their name and added some adorable Eggs to both the top and bottom of my project!

Sweet Fifteen

 Wow, that gorgeous gown totally steals the show! I am so excited to share this new layout I created for the A Cherry on Top Number Mix Challenge!

To play along with the challenge, my page had to meet a few specific rules:

• Theme: Wedding or birthday
• Color Palette: Pastel
• Title: Exactly two words

I decided to document a special celebration, keeping all the elements soft and sweet. To add a meaningful personal touch, I included a tag that Mikah specifically asked me to make for the guests’ favors! I also dug into my stash and found a heart-shaped cactus, which felt like the perfect whimsical embellishment to tuck into the layout.

I absolutely love the way it all came together!
