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 March, it is time to see what the Merry Maidens have been up to! Helen, from the Sleigh Belles is also joining during the midway. Clicking on the DT names will
take you to the individual blogs where you
can check out the details for both 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 March. 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.
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 and to challenge yourself if you'd like.

Challenge #132
ANYTHING GOES with the
Optional Twist: PEPPERMINT TWIST 🍬 🍭
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 PEPPERMINT TWIST. This theme bursts with sugary sweetness. Experiment with classic peppermint swirls, candy-cane stripes, and other sweet peppermint themed treats. Use playful colour palettes by combining bold reds and snowy whites or by opting for soft pastels for a fresh twist. You could add some glossy accents, or use layered die-cuts to mimic candy texture. Finish off your card with a fun "minty fresh" sentiment to tie it all together. With a little twist and a lot of sweetness, your project is sure to look good enough to eat!

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...
If I am REALLY lucky, I just might get December's winner announcement posted sometime in the next two weeks…but I wouldn't hold your breath. 😜 Then, please join us on April 1st when we'll be back with our newest link up! Other special posts may be published throughout the month.
We look forward to seeing you participate!
