(fondly referred to as the virus from hell), I was unable to post
February's challenge. For roughly 18 days, the only time I ventured from
my bed was to visit the bathroom; and in the first two weeks, even
getting there was a struggle. I credit my husband with my survival
because I truly believe I may not be here if not for his incredible care
during the worst of my illness. Even now, almost exactly a month from
the time I became sick, I am still struggling with my recovery due to
lingering symptoms. <br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">That
being the case, I have made the decision to cancel March's challenge as
well. As difficult as it was for me to make that choice, I need to put
my health first.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm
sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Hopefully, March will
provide me with the additional time I need to recover so that we can
return in April. However, I make no promises at this time. I will need
to see what fate has in store for me.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I hope that you and your families remain healthy and well in which ever corner of this world you live!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Cheers,</div>Lisa</div>Decosse's Dynamite Doodleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12100692025215744977noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301099550049496831.post-13647223654868612352024-01-20T18:00:00.022-05:002024-01-20T18:00:00.140-05:00Challenge #108 Midway: ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS with the Optional Twist…DIE CUTS and/or EMBOSSING<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><i><b>Welcome back crafters! </b></i></span>It
is the 15th of the month and that means it is time for the midway of
our current challenge. I hope that you and your families all continue to
stay well in the various regions that you reside. <div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Right now, as we are halfway through the month of January, it is time to see what the <i><b>Merry Maidens</b></i> have been up to!

If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I started it under the '<b><i>Introductions</i></b>' tab. As this is a different kind of link up where we have both an Anything Goes Christmas or other December Holiday option <b>AND </b>an
optional twist to follow, be sure to read all the details and rules you
need to know in order to participate, by checking out the '<i><b>Challenge Details'</b></i> tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). <span style="text-align: left;">I have provided a summary of the most important rules in the right sidebar.</span></div>

first
link up of 2024 to get under way! I
hope that you and your families are happy and well and that you all had an enjoyable holiday season!<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div>Now, I realize that the last thing
that many of you want to do is think about Christmas right now but it is
never too early to get started on all the Christmas and other December
Holiday cards you are going to need when December rolls around! I swear,
the older I get, the faster time goes; so, we're going to need those
Christmas cards sooner than we think!!! For those of you embarking on
getting a
start to your stash,
we'd love to have you join us and add your cards to our Link
Up for a chance to win some goodies! </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I created it under the <i><b>Introductions </b></i>tab and all the details you need to know in order to participate, by checking out the <i><b>Challenge Details</b></i>
tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). For your convenience, a
summary of the most important rules can be found in the right sidebar
under the heading <i><b>Basic Rules Summary</b></i>.<br />
<div><br /></div>Right now, it is time to get down to the business of our latest challenge. Here is
what you need to know...</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><h2 style="text-align: center;">

</p>Our theme, as always, is <b>ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS </b>(or in celebration of other December holidays). If you want to challenge yourself, you can always follow our <b>optional twist of DIE CUTS and/or EMBOSSING. </b>You can just use a die cut or choose to use an embossing folder (or use pre-embossed paper), or you could use both!<br /><br />Keep
in mind though, that you don't need to follow the twist to link up your cards and earn a
free paper each month or for a chance to win your choice of <span id="yiv0982197376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1542490368991_23775" style="color: black;"><span id="yiv0982197376yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1542490368991_23774"><b>TWO Christmas or Winter themed mini kits of digital papers </b></span></span>from <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Décosse's Dynamite Doodles</b></span>.

need to know in order to participate, by checking out the '<i><b>Challenge Details'</b></i> tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). <span style="text-align: left;">I have provided a summary of the most important rules in the right sidebar.</span></div>

In less than 24 days, it will be Christmas! Once again, another year
has come and almost gone at an insane rate! Unfortunately, the older we get the more we perceive time flying by so quickly! I hope that 2023 was a year that you will be able to fondly look back on. It certainly had its ups and downs but hopefully more positive than negative for you and your family. Here is hoping that our world and the inhabitants of it will continue to improve and thrive in 2024! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">As it is the first day of December, it is time for our final
link up of 2023 to get under way! Given how little time is left until the
BIG DAY itself is here, it is imperative to get all those last minute
Christmas and other December Holiday cards completed before we run out
of time! To provide you with some extra
incentive to get your cards completed, we have some prizes
available! So, why not join us for your chance to win?!</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div>If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I created it under the <i><b>Introductions </b></i>tab and all the details you need to know in order to participate, by checking out the <i><b>Challenge Details</b></i>
tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). For your convenience, a
summary of the most important rules can be found in the right sidebar
under the heading <i><b>Basic Rules Summary</b></i>.<br />

need to know in order to participate, by checking out the '<i><b>Challenge Details'</b></i> tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). <span style="text-align: left;">I have provided a summary of the most important rules in the right sidebar.</span></div>

need to know in order to participate, by checking out the '<i><b>Challenge Details'</b></i> tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). <span style="text-align: left;">I have provided a summary of the most important rules in the right sidebar.</span></div>

optional twist to follow, be sure to read all the details and rules you
need to know in order to participate, by checking out the '<i><b>Challenge Details'</b></i> tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). <span style="text-align: left;">I have provided a summary of the most important rules in the right sidebar.</span></div>

need to know in order to participate, by checking out the '<i><b>Challenge Details'</b></i> tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). <span style="text-align: left;">I have provided a summary of the most important rules in the right sidebar.</span></div>

</p>Our theme, as always, is <b>ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS </b>(or in celebration of other December holidays). If you want to challenge yourself, you can always follow our <b>optional twist of making a card inspired by a Christmas SONG.</b>
Whether you are energized by a classic carol or you prefer Christmas
music that is a little more modern, let lyrics set the stage this month.
For example, if you like the song 'O Christmas Tree', use a tree as the
focal of your card. Is Deck the Halls more your style? Then add some
boughs of holly to your card. Prefer a Christmas song sung by the
Backstreet Boys, Mariah Carey, Kacey Musgraves, Abba, Ariana Grandé,
Lady Gaga or another artist? Well then, listen to the words and let them
guide your hand. <br /><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Keep
in mind though, that you don't need to follow the twist to link up your cards and earn a

If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I started it under the '<b><i>Introductions</i></b>' tab. As this is a different kind of link up where we have both an Anything Goes Christmas or other December Holiday option <b>AND </b>an
optional twist to follow, be sure to read all the details and rules you
need to know in order to participate, by checking out the '<i><b>Challenge Details'</b></i> tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). <span style="text-align: left;">I have provided a summary of the most important rules in the right sidebar.</span></div>

</p>Our theme, as always, is <b>ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS </b>(or in celebration of other December holidays). If you want to challenge yourself, you can always follow our <b>optional twist of making a card inspired by a Christmas SONG.</b> Whether you are energized by a classic carol or you prefer Christmas music that is a little more modern, let lyrics set the stage this month. For example, if you like the song 'O Christmas Tree', use a tree as the focal of your card. Is Deck the Halls more your style? Then add some boughs of holly to your card. Prefer a Christmas song sung by the Backstreet Boys, Mariah Carey, Kacey Musgraves, Abba, Ariana Grandé, Lady Gaga or another artist? Well then, listen to the words and let them guide your hand. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Keep
