BBTB2 Die-lirious Holiday Season Challenge

 


Hello Cricuteers!! Connie Can Crop here with our next challenge for the BBTB2 Design Team.

WELCOME to our last challenge of the Season~

And sadly my last post on this amazing team!!!


"A Die-lirious Holiday Season
(December 7th, 2020 to January 4rd, 2021) 

We are partnering with Double Trouble for this final challenge of 2020.  So we have loosened our typical rule (use a Cricut) to be able to use ANY DIE-CUT.  You can still create ANY type of project.  Note the dates, we are keeping this one open the rest of the month to give our DT a holiday respite.


Thing 1: Trouble Maker 
says, "I am in a state of wild excitement! There are only 18 days until Christmas and it's time to get Die-lirious. Select your favorite cutting tool, i.e. dies, punches, and/or cutting machines, and finish your holiday cards, tags, ornaments, gift box/bags, money and gift card holders, etc.  

If you have completed all of your holiday preparation this may be a good time to prepare a scrapbook page(s) for your 2020 festivities - and hopefully, the only festivities limited by a pandemic. Blanks can be placed on the scrapbook page in place of photos.  

If you use a Cricut for your project (or Silhouette, Brother ScanNCut, or another similar device) you will get an extra chance for the DTC random draw.  

You can stop here... 
OR, you can decide to use the Optional Twist below.


Thing 3: Twisted Sister 
says, "Since we are Wrapping It Up, let's include either patterned paper in your project and/or a "Tie It Up" twist by including string, cord, ribbon, twine, tinsel, etc. The choice is yours.

This is an OPTIONAL TWIST but you will be awarded an additional chance in Double Trouble's random draw if you include this twist in your project. 





Thing 2: Double Dare 
says, "Bitten by the Bug 2 is a challenge that usually requires the inclusion of a cut from a Cricut, however, we CUT a holiday Die'al with them." 

"For this challenge only, they are accepting the use of cut items from punches, dies, and any digital cutting machine, but NO fussy-cutting! You don't need to use Twisted Sister's optional twist to enter and you will still earn an additional chance at the Double Trouble Random Draw" when you enter your project HERE for Bitten by The Bug 2." 








HAPPY HOLIDAYS: Once you've wrapped up the holidays, what's better than receiving a crafting gift after the holidays?  In addition to the random draw prize, we will pick a favorite in each of the following categories and you will receive a Gift Card. To qualify, you must identify in your post what machine or tool you used for your project... don't keep us guessing.
  • Cards, Tags 
  • Gift Boxes, Ornaments, Table Display
  • Scrapbook Page 
  • Machine-made Project (for using a Silhouette, Brother ScanNCut, or another similar device) 
Please make a note of the Challenge dates. This challenge begins on Monday, December 7, 2020
and ends on Monday morning, January 4, 2021. 

We wish you all a Blessed Holiday Season 
and a Happy New Year!

What did I create for this crazy challenge? Why a layout of course! This one uses my cricut along with some SVG files from Treasure Box Designs.



I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!   Scrappy Hugs!

Lasting Memories Challenge #521 MONSTERS

 

 Hello Fall

This month's challenges will feature a variety of events and things you can find in October during Fall in the USA. So no matter where you are from, grab your favorite fall drink and warm comfy sweater and play along!

October 25th - LM #521 - BOTH TEAMS - Monsters
Did you know that October 25th was originally called Frankenstein Friday? Frankenstein was created in a lab by a mad scientist and is one of my all time favorite Halloween monsters. So we thought it would be fun to create a layout with some sort of monster on it. Whether it is your kid dressed up as one, your dog or just a sticker you use.

I'm sharing a layout I created of one of my fav Halloween Movies!


Head on over to Lasting Memories and get your entries in today!
Sadly this is my last entry with Lasting Memories. I have decided to step down and concentrate on going back to work at UPS as well as I am getting ready for a big move in the near future. SO I have a lot going on!

Lasting Memories #515 China Challenge

 

Wonders of the World

This month we would like to celebrate the wonders of the world and celebrate different cultures. So please come along each week and let us guide you on this journey.


September 13th - LM #515 - Team A - China - The Chinese are well known for their Feng Shui. So this week we would love to see a layout that is balanced! Using the colours of the Chinese calendar - White and Blue.
*The Chinese year of the White Metal Rat has a main element of Water and is the "yang" and represents the beginning of a new day. The Chinese year colour Blue is for Trust, Honesty, and Loyalty. It increases the Immune Protection. It encourages us to open up with enthusiasm towards everything in life and make things wonderful around us, while at the same time helps us live in harmony.*




I have been working on my trip to Greece for seems like forever. This is one of my cover pages that will begin the amazing journey I took around the Parthenon and seeing the Acropolis! Perfect for this challenge.
