With no access to my design stuff or scrap stuff for the past 3 hours, my mind has begun to wander…..
And you know what popped into this little head? A little CHALLENGE!!!!
My CT and I have been discussing card ideas a lot this week, to give as teacher gifts as well as one’s to send out to friends and family for the Holidays. Then I saw Barb’s Christmas card, that was inspired by a LAYOUT!!! That sparked this little challenge!!!!
*** T H E - C H A L L E N G E: ***
Lift a LAYOUT and turn it into a CARD!!!!!!
It doesn’t have to be YOUR layout, it can be anyone’s (please be sure to link us up to their lo, so we can peek and leave love!)
After you create your card, be sure to pop in here and link us up to both your card AND the inspiring layout!
Then we’ll give out some prizes to our favorites!!! 
DEADLINE: (my birthday, December 9th)
Hope you can squeeze in some time to play!!!!

oh the drama…. if you didn’t already hear….i fell into a full-on stressed out mode a few weeks ago and made some really stupid choices out of pure irrational stressdom (clearly not a word, but you kwim!). At that time i decided to dissolve my Creative Team all together…the end.
Yeah, not so brilliant i realize……as i’m so fortunate to have some AMAZING ladies on my team….who i’m fortuanate enough to call my friends, not just CT members. Luckily, some of them knocked some sense into me and stood by me while i sorted my life out.
Are the ANGELS or what?!
So my plan is to design a new set of team requirements and even some new roles on the team………so PLEASE keep your eyes peeled cuz a CT Call WILL be going out in the near future!
RANDOM SHOUT OUT:
LOVE YOU CAR & DAD!!!!
Have a loverly evening everyone!

Sorry for the belated Contest Winner announcement! I had such a hard time deciding on one kit idea! So I was trying to figure out how I could tweak things this time around…..
Soooo…..here’s what i came up with…..there will be THREE winners! The grand prize winner will have a full kit created from there ideas and the other 2 winners will have mini-kits created! Sound okay to you?!
Even w/ three winners, it was still hard to decide because honestly, EVERY idea submitted was unique and would make a fun kit! I chose these winners based on how much info they gave me and which i had the best visual in my head for.
And if you didn’t win this time around, please don’t be bummed… i will most definately be running this contest again!
Okay now onto the winners………………..
—————————-
GRAND PRIZE WINNER:
Cheryl (aka cherpea)
*****
MINI-KIT WINNERS:
Nelly (aka LittleMy)
Kirsty (aka KirstyB)
—————————–
I can’t tell you their kit ideas or it would ruin the surprise, but stay tuned for when these are released! I’m so excited to get working with you ladies on these! YAY!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE….
uh….wait…..i don’t have the winner selected yet, sorry! I’m still milling through all the entries TRYING to figure out how to pick just one. Everyone had such great ideas….and each is so different, so picking one is NOT easy! I promise to get a final winner posted by the end of the day though!
I’ve been so bad at updating my blog lately…..could it be vacation? the nice warm Summer days? or that DANG puppy!??!?! I even forgot to post my OWN digi dare when it was my week! GAH! So i’m turning back the hands of time and posting it now!
Here’s MY lo that went with my challenge:
And this one is from this weeks dare #46 about WHY you scrap….
AND this one is of our little beast that’s sucking up ALL our time now…..
PS…word on the street is a freebie is coming soon, so watch out for that!
