New challenge - Leaves and Trees

Welcome back to our challenge blog - we love seeing all the returning players week to week as well as new players!

Last week we had some terrific birthday entries! This week, the challenge is to create something using leaves and/or trees.

Before we get to the DT sample artwork, I want to announce our prize winner from last week's sponsor, Nichole Lewno. Chosen at random.org, the winner is Jennifer Hawkins!!  Congratulations Jennifer! Please contact me at mbryt1@bex.net with your mailing address so I can get the info to Nichole. And if you haven't stopped by Nichole's blog, I encourage everyone to stop by and leave a little message of thanks for sponsoring our challenge last week. Thanks Nichole!!

This week we have another opportunity for a lucky player to win in our 4 for 40 contest! If we get 40 players, one person will win a set of 4 cards created by a member of the H2H Design Team. This week, the lovely Jessica will be the 4 for 40 hostess and she has a few thoughts to share with you:

"One of my very favorite attributes of CTMH is our coordinating colors and embellishments. When I got ready to make my card for this challenge, I knew I would have everything I could possibly need for my card to match perfectly! Cardstock, Inks, ribbon, and embelishments. Even if you don't have the exact match all of our colors coordinate so well together that you can easily mix and match. I find that when I am using non CTMH products I have to move around to several different light sources in my house to see if my paper and ribbon match because the lighting in my scraproom is less than ideal. However if I am using CTMH and I am using Cocoa paper I know my ribbon will match perfectly! Our color coordinated products truly make papercrafting Faster, Simpler, and Easier."

Here is Jessica's card for the week - and also one of the cards you could win in her package of goodies so be sure to play along:


Beautiful!  Be sure to tell everyone about our challenge this week so we can get 40 players and someone will win this and 3 more gorgeous cards from Jessica!






What a tree-t to see all those fabulous samples!! Did I leave anyone out? Ok, so my tree and leaves humor has a lot to be desired. But we hope that doesn't stop you from playing along! Link your creation here by Sunday at 10 pm EST and we will stop by and see your entry. You might just be in our next Friday Five group!

  1. I have 3 cards on this link. The first one is Halloween and has nothing to do with the challeng so just ignore. The second two are trees. I love these stamp sets!

  8. Did something a little different this week, and updated an older blog post with "tree" cards. The cards are just perfect to highlight for "leaves and trees". And I thought it was interesting that the original post as on the same date - Oct 13, of last year. I do also plan to create something NEW and post it for this week's challenge.
