Challenge #93 Midway: ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS with the Optional Twist…COLOUR Challenge

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 and your families all continue to stay well in the various regions that you reside.

 

Right now, as we are halfway through the month of October, it is time to see what the Merry Maidens have been up to! Clicking on the DT names will take you to the individual blogs where you can check out the details for all these wonderful cards.

 

 

  

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 #93

  ANYTHING GOES with the 

Optional Twist: Colour Challenge  

Our theme, as always, is Anything Goes Christmas (or in celebration of other December holidays). If you want to challenge yourself, you can always follow our optional twist of: a COLOUR CHALLENGE. There's a lot going on during the month of October. In Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving on October 10th. At the end of the month, Halloween is celebrated in many countries around the world. Finally, the autumn season is in full bloom. All of these occasions mean we are surrounded by a rich and warm colour palette. So, in honour of the rich vibrancy of October, use one or more of the following colours in your design: INTENSE ORANGES, DEEP REDS, RICH BROWNS, WARM GREENS, VIVID PURPLES.  

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 TWO Christmas or Winter themed mini kits of digital papers from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles. Following the twist is simply for fun.
  
Here is a preview of October's paper for those adding two cards to this month's link up:

 

 

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.

You can find the link up for
Challenge #93 by clicking HERE.

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

I'll hopefully be publishing another of the outstanding winner announcements sometime in the next two weeks. Then, please join us on November 1st when we'll be back with our newest link up! Other special posts may be published throughout the month. Be sure to follow us through Bloglovin' so you don't miss a thing!

 

We look forward to seeing you participate!
