Crafty Contagion Challenge - Leftovers!

We're so thankful you were thankful for the last 2 weeks and joined us in our challenge! Awesome inspiration, everyone!

This week we bring you a twist on the Thanksgiving holiday: LEFTOVERS! Hopefully you have some stored up in your refrigerator after Thursday's feast, but on a card - use some scraps! Here's some inspiration from our lovely DT to get you started; click on their blog links to see more!

You have until Friday, December 9th to play along with us!  We look forward to seeing all of your darling creations!

Thankful

We're so happy that you played along with the last challenge! Your interpretations of Pumpkin were all very inspiring. So inspiring that we want to say thanks - with a THANKFUL challenge!

We've all got plenty to be thankful for, and with the Thanksgiving holiday coming up in America, and the Canadian Thanksgiving last month, it's time we counted our blessings. You can interpret "Thankful" in any way you wish - a thank you card, a card for someone you're thankful for, a Thanksgiving card.....whatever you'd like. Here are some inspirations from our own design team - click on the links below to view the cards on their blog.

Crafty Contagion Challenge #2 - Pumpkin

Thanks so much to everyone who got tied up in twine with us these last two weeks! We loved seeing your creations!

Our second challenge this month is to use PUMPKIN. That can be an image, a color, a cute little punkin kiddo, whatever your interpretation of "pumpkin" is. Our ladies have created some samples to inspire you to get crafty - click on the links below their names to see card details on their blogs!

Twisty Twine Challenge

The Stamping Together Divas just bought a huge batch of twine together...we had no idea just how much twine it really was! We took turns measuring out 24-yard batches of each color and winding it onto cardboard so it was evenly divvied...just check out the twiny deliciousness!

We wanted to challenge ourselves to USE all this twine...and the next thing you know, we were talking about a group blog so we could share our creations with each other outside of our monthly gatherings. And so...here we are! This brand new blog was begun that very day! Our gals are all so talented, so we hope these twice-a-month challenges (second and fourth Saturdays) will inspire you to get crafty too.


Your prescription for crafting this next two weeks: Use TWINE on a card or scrappy project! Use InLinkz below to link up your twisty twine project - it can be a scrapbook layout, card, or other crafty idea for using twine! Here are some of our Design Team's solutions to this challenge...if their name below their card is a link, go check out details on their blog!
