Challenge #138 Midway: ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS with the Optional Twist…Go with the FLOW❄️🌀

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 November, it is time to see what the Merry Maidens have been up to! Helen is also joining us for mid month. Clicking on the DT names will take you to the individual blogs where you can check out the details for all of 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 November. 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 #138

  ANYTHING GOES with the 

Optional Twist: Go with the FLOW❄️🌀 

Our theme, as always, is ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS (or in celebration of other December holidays).  If you'd like an extra challenge, our optional twist this month is GO WITH THE FLOW!

Allow your creativity to twist and turn with curves, waves, swirls, swooshes, or anything that suggests movement on your Christmas card. Think swirling snowflakes, curling ribbons, candy canes, flowing garlands, winding strings of Christmas lights, wispy chimney smoke, snowy hills, or even a scarf blowing in the winter breeze. You can create your movement with patterned papers, stamping, stencils, digital images, dies, hand-drawn lines, ink techniques, embellishments, or whatever crafty supplies make your heart swirl!

Whether your flow is subtle or makes a big splash, there are endless ways to add a sense of movement to your festive creations. So don't fight the current... just go with the flow! We can't wait to see where your creativity takes you!

Link up two cards and earn a free paper each month or enter any card for a chance to win your choice of TWO Christmas or Winter themed mini kits of digital papers from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.

Here is a preview of November'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.




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

I'll hopefully be publishing the winner announcement from Challenge #137 sometime in the next two weeks. Then, please join us on December 1st when we'll be back with our last link up of the year! Other special posts may be published throughout the month. Be sure to follow us so you don't miss a thing!
