December Challenge - Already!
OK ladies, how's everyone doing with those cards?! Are you finished for this year? If not, this is a great chance to get things finished off and if you're done for this year, then there's no time like the present to get started on next year's cards!!!
December Challenge - We're going to make it easy this month because we just want people to play along, so the challenge is... Anything goes! Just make sure that they're newly created this month!
Yes, you heard it right - anything! Get out those scraps or the new stash you had to have this year, but never got the chance to use. Just start creating!
Take a look at what our design team has created for you as inspiration!
*Remember if you do 5 cards this month following the challenge, your name will go into a draw for a prize at the end of December! (this challenge CAN be combined with any other blog or forum challenges that you do this month.)
Please upload your cards to your blog, a gallery, or photobucket and remember to give us the EXACT links to see them. You can do 5 of the same cards or 5 different ones (as long as they follow the current challenge) If you do 5 of the same, please show us a picture of them altogether. Thanks
***Also, if at least 20 people create 5 cards we'll pick a second winner!***
Keep your eyes out throughout the month for more reveals and intros to our new team members as well! Looking forward to seeing more cards soon, so get your mojo on!
Cheers,
Colleen and Lesley

October Challenge
OK, we all know that there's another "holiday" in October and that's Halloween. So... your Christmas cards this month need to have at least one of what are considered Halloween colours (orange, green, purple, black). We'd also like to see a punch or die cut somewhere on your card and this can mean regular punches, Spellbinders dies, border punches, something that was purchased pre-done, etc!
***Remember if you do 5 cards this month following the challenge, your name will go into a draw for a prize at the end of October! (This challenge CAN be combined with any other blog or forum challenges that you do this month.)
