Challenge #65 Midway: Opt. Twist…DECK THE PAWS!

Welcome back crafters! It is the 15th of the month and that means it is time for the midway of our current challenge. I hope that you all continue to stay well as your individual regions begin to open back up. It is going to be a difficult path to walk between getting people back to work and keeping the infection rate down so that is manageable. I hope that your community is able to find the balance.

Right now, as we are halfway through the month of May, it is time to see what the Merry Maidens have been up to with their adorable images from Ike's Art, our guest sponsor this month!

 

Clicking on the DT names will take you to the individual blogs where you can check out the details for all these wonderful cards. Pat was even able to join us this month!

If you are interested in purchasing the image featured in a particular card, you can click on the link indicated below the creation to head to the page in the Ike's Art store where it can be found.

So if you haven't entered already, what are you waiting for? It is time to link up your Christmas and other holiday cards for May. Below you will find a refresher of the details for this challenge.

Please remember that this is a CARDS ONLY link up. While we've had some lovely tag entries, ornaments and other creative projects in the past, we've sadly had to disqualify them.

Challenge #65

 Optional Twist: Deck the PAWS!

If you want the chance to win this month's featured paper pack, be sure to create a card that features a CAT or a DOG as the main focus. 

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 a $10.00 gift voucher from this month's sponsor, Ike's Art. You simply need to follow the twist if you'd like a chance to win this month's featured digital paper pack, Pawesome Holiday (you can see a preview for this set by clicking HERE).

If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I started it under the 'Introductions' tab. As this is a different kind of link up where we have both an Anything Goes Christmas or other December Holiday option AND 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 'Challenge Details' tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). I have provided a summary of the most important rules in the right sidebar.

If you would like a say in determining which digital paper will be offered to those who link up a minimum of two cards this month, be sure to vote in our poll. Click HERE to head there now.

Don't Forget, if everything goes according to plan...

We look forward to seeing you participate!
