Lots of Layers

October has been an outstanding month thanks to our fine and talented challenge participants. We so enjoy checking out your work challenge after challenge, and this week is no exception. It's time for our final October challenge: lots of layers! We want you to pile on the layers on your project, with at least five layers somewhere on your creation. You know you're up to the challenge! Use up some of that pretty paper you've got. You have until this Saturday to participate in this last October challenge; all the earlier October challenges end on the 31st. Show us your stuff!

Here's lots of layers taking flight from our Guest Designer, Becca Whitham:

And Team Twilight:

Are you ready to layer it up? If so, be sure to use some Close To My Heart product in your project, mention (or tag) Heart 2 Heart Challenges with your project, and link up here. We can't wait to see your interpretation! (As chilly as it is in my neck of the woods recently, I am all about sweaters, hats, scarves, and gloves!) Let your imagination take flight and pile on those layers. Be sure to link up by Saturday! Thanks!

One of the best parts of being on the H2H Design Team is seeing YOUR interpretations of each of our challenges. We are thankful for all of our H2H participants each and every week. Whether you play a lot or a little (or just lurk to see what's going on), we're so glad you stop by! Thanks for making H2H a part of your life.

We'd like to recognize our September addicts, those lovely ladies who participated in all four of the challenges. They are:

Thank you, ladies, for sharing your talent with us throughout September! Be sure to grab our "addicts" blog badge from our sidebar.

Little Black Dress

Good Monday morning everyone! I hope your weekend was tons of fun. Perhaps you were able to dress up and go out dancing or somewhere special. And maybe you got to wear that little black dress you have hanging in your closet. Do you have one? I think most women do and it's their go-to dress for just about any occasion. So think about your dress and create something that reminds you of it or just go fancy schmancy on your artwork or maybe just use the color black. Whatever comes to mind when you think of a little black dress will work!

Without further ado, here is what our guest designer, Becca Whitham, created for our challenge.

And here is what the rest of Team Twilight created.

Now it's your turn to show us how you interpret our 'little black dress' challenge. Post your link here so we can check it out and be sure to use mostly Close To My Heart products or your link will be removed. Have fun creating!

Au Naturale

The calendar still says September (and that means you have until tonight to play along with any of September's challenges), but we couldn't give you just half a day to complete this challenge. Nor could we wait a week to inspire you, so this week's challenge is actually our first challenge for OCTOBER! We hope everyone who stops by will create something this month and join us for any of the upcoming October challenges.

Our theme is Au Naturale: use either all neutral colors or something from nature. Are you up for the challenge? Our guest DT, Becca Whitham, sure is!
