Challenge #70 Midway: Opt. Twist…COLOUR CHALLENGE

 Welcome back folks! It is the 15th of the month and that means it is time for the midway of our current challenge.

As we are halfway through the month of October, it is time to see what the Merry Maidens have been up to with their sweet images from Pattie's Creations, 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. Helen N. is joining us during the midway. 

 

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 Pattie's Creations 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 October. 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 #70

Optional Twist: 

COLOUR CHALLENGE

If you want the chance to win this month's featured paper pack, make sure that your card showcases at least THREE OF THE COLOURS FROM THE PALETTE BELOW.

 
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 THREE images from the Pattie's Creations store. You simply need to follow the twist if you'd like a chance to win this month's featured digital paper pack, Foil Textures: Festive Colours (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.

Next, it is time to get on with showcasing the top three. With so many wonderful entries to choose from, it is always such a difficult task for the design team.

Congrats to our top three Stocking Stuffers! Rina, Marie and Deanne, please grab a copy of the badge below for your blog.

Everyone who links up two cards each month is eligible to receive a free digital paper. Papers from last month have previously been sent out. If you were expecting one but haven't received it yet, please leave me a comment and I'll look into it for you.

The individuals who linked up a minimum of two cards each during the month of SEPTEMBER qualifying them to receive the digital paper from that month, will receive the Ho Ho Ho Word Art Paper which received the most votes. I have included the watermark of the paper, below... 

 

To all of you who linked up during September, thanks ever so much! We are so happy to have all of you with us and hope that you'll continue to link up your holiday cards as you start or continue to work on your stockpile for 2020!!! Papers will be sent to the email address that qualifying participants used when they added their cards to the Link Up, as soon as I can manage!

As always, we are going to have a random draw from all the entries that followed the twist and give out a set of six digital papers to one lucky individual. The papers are all made so why not have an extra prize! Here is the watermark for the full set... 

 

 

 

The winner of the  
  Sentimentally…Christmas Mini Kit
from Challenge #69 is
#21. ROSINA

(chosen by miniwebtool.com based on all eligible entries) 

 

Rosina, as you linked up a minimum of two cards this month and were entitled to one of the papers from this set anyway, I'll just send out the full mini kit to you at the same time that I send out the individual paper to those who earned it this month (hopefully some time in the next week or two).

Well folks, that is it for this one! If you haven't already, be sure to check out our current challenge going on now, with the Optional Twist this month of "Colour Challenge". There are still a little over two weeks to go and you can find out all the details along with the link up, by clicking HERE. We'll be back on October 15th with our midway so I hope you can join us again at that time. Then, please join us again on November 1st when we'll be back with our newest link up!

Take care and we'll see you all again on Thursday! 

Until then,

Vote for October's Free Digi Paper!

Hey folks. It is the first of the month and that means our new Link Up has started. As such, it is time to vote on the digi paper from this month's paper pack that will be offered to those linking up two cards.

 

October's set is called Foil Textures: Festive Colours. While the pack is more generic this month, the colours are based on a Christmas palette. Check out the preview... 

 

Everyone who links up a minimum of two cards during the month of October will earn ONE of the digital papers from this set. The specific paper up for grabs will be shown during the winner announcement post. Additionally, one random winner who has followed the twist will earn the full set of papers.

If you would like a say in determining which one of these papers will be offered to those who link up a minimum of two cards this month, be sure to vote in our poll below. If there is a tie or no votes are cast, an executive decision will be made as to which paper is offered.

DIGI PAPER POLL

Please click "like" to choose the ONE paper that you would like offered up to participants who link up a minimum of two cards during the month of October. Poll will be open until October 31st, 11:59 p.m. ET. Please note that you can get a better idea of what the actual paper looks like by bringing the preview ABOVE up in the lightbox.

Talking about Pattie's Creations, it is time to refresh ourselves with the details of this returning sponsor…

I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist. I always dreamed of being an artist, but I found out quickly that I needed another field to support my family so I pursued a Degree in Information Technology. I love to use Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks to enhance my work. I just recently started selling my very own digital images and I am so excited to be here sponsoring this Challenge.

I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them.
