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

DT Call!

Hi Everyone! It's time again to put out a DT Call for January 2012 - June 2012.

We're going to add a few spots to our design team as well as some guest designers.  There, unfortunately, isn't compensation other than all the glory of sharing your cards and inspiring others!  As well, you get a lot of cards made for Christmas the following year!!!

All you have to do is link a card that you've made within the past 6 months. We will close the DT Call on November 30th at midnight. Good Luck!

Cheers,
Lesley and Colleen

November Challenge!

Happy November everyone! Hope you all had a safe Halloween full of fun, but now it's time to get serious about finishing off those Christmas cards this month since the holidays are coming up faster than you think!

For this month, we're challenging you with a sketch created by our very own lovely Lesley!

Here is some amazing inspiration from our design team and you're going to love how different they all are based on the same design!




















***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 November! (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. If the linky isn't working for you for any reason, just post your link in the comments! Thanks!

Come join is this month and show us what you're creating with this lovely sketch!  Can't wait to see!

Cheers,
Colleen and Lesley
