Challenge #76: Opt. Twist…RED & GOLD

Welcome Christmas Crafters! It is the first day of a brand new month and time for our latest link up. I hope that you and your families continue to stay healthy during this difficult time in our lives. It is starting to feel like it will never end but hopefully soon, we'll be able to get this virus in check.

 

While Christmas may still be quite a few months away, it is never too early to get started on all the Christmas and other December Holiday cards you are going to need when December finally rolls around! Whether you are just embarking on getting a start to your stash or you already have a few cards completed, we'd love to have you join us and add your cards to our Link Up for a chance to win some goodies!

 

If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I created it under the Introductions tab and all the details you need to know in order to participate, by checking out the Challenge Details 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 Basic Rules Summary.

Right now, time to get down to the business of our latest challenge. Here is what you need to know...

 

Challenge #76

 Optional Twist: RED & GOLD

If you want the chance to win this month's featured paper pack, use the colours RED AND GOLD on your card.
  
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 gift certificate (for digital items only) from this month's sponsor, Taylormade Cards 4 U. You simply need to follow the twist if you'd like a chance to win this month's featured digital paper pack, Misc. Christmas: Red & Gold (you can see a preview for this set by clicking HERE).

 

Talking about Taylormade Cards 4 U, it is time to refresh ourselves with the details of this returning sponsor…

 

 

Hello, my name is Monica and I live in Prescott Arizona with my husband and two dogs. I have been a crafty person my entire life and enjoy creating. I believe if you can dream it, you can create it! 

I have been able to share my love for vintage theme ephemera through my digital kits, making it easy to create wonderful vintage inspired theme projects helping you turn your cards into keepsakes!

 

Now check out what the Sleigh Belles came up with to inspire you. Clicking on the DT names will take you to the individual blogs where you can check out the specific details for all these wonderful cards. Helen will be taking this month off.

Each team member got to work with one of four different kits this month. If you are interested in purchasing the sponsor's kit featured in a particular card, you can click on the link indicated below the card to head to the page in the Taylormade Cards 4 U store where it can be found.
