October Winners!

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who visits and plays along here at Heart 2 Heart!  Time really slipped away from me because I thought we had posted the October winners last month!  (Obviously I need a New Year's resolution to get these posted in a more timely manner!)

As always, we want to recognize the players who completed each of the October challenges.  Congratulations (and lots of appreciation) to awesome ADDICTS...

Our Final 2016 Challenge: Oh, Deer!

Oh, Deer! How can we be at our final challenge for 2016?!?  It is time to end our year here at Heart 2 Heart Challenges with a paper challenge for you: use the Oh, Deer collection (or colors) on your artwork between now and then end of 2016.  We're ending December a little early for our Design Team so that they can enjoy some well-earned time off for the holidays.  (We have two great December challenges that you can join until the end of the month.)

Here are our DT members in no particular order to inspire you with the Oh, Deer collection.
Alyson

Haley
Jennifer K.

Create with City Sidewalks

Welcome to the last challenge for November- Christmas is nearly here and what better way to get into the Christmas spirit than creating with City Sidewalks!  Because November ends so soon, we've extend this one November challenge until Saturday, 12/3.

There is both a Paper Collection and Cricut cartridge called City Sidewalks, and so it is up to you which one you use- or you can be extra creative and use both.  Don't have the collection?  Have fun with this festive color combo!

Here is what the design team have come up with for this week's challenge.
Jenifer Benner
Haley Dyer
Brandi R - crzy4scrapbooking

Lauren Moore
Laurie Levorson





Now it's your turn- link your creations below!

Anything BUT a Card

Layouts, boxes, bags, candles, gift bags, trees, brooches, ring boxes, frames, canvases, organizers, tea bag holders, display trays, pencil wraps, tags, cake toppers, hats, cupcake wrappers, pumpkins, gift wrapping, binder covers, pine cones, shelf decor, banners, alphabet cards, learning centre pieces, puzzles, wreaths, mini albums, jewelry, flowers, food holders, card boxes, graduation gifts, mobiles, murals... the list goes on. 

I am sure you can think of more items than I have listed here but these are all non-card projects that can be created using paper crafting supplies! Some of these, you may have already tried but we encourage you to pull out all the stops and show us your creations that are anything BUT a card for this week's challenge at Heart 2 Heart! (Please do not back link to a project that you have previously created - we want to see NEW and FRESH projects for this challenge!) 


Here are the creations that our design team wishes to share with you!























You have until the end of November to enter this or any of the November challenges. 
Be sure your project contains some Close To My Heart supplies as that is a requirement for our entries. If it is not obvious, please provide a list of supplies used in your project. We would appreciate a little shout out or link up mention in your post too.

Holiday Color Challenge: No Red or Green

The weather is changing, temperatures are dropping, the trees are bare and whether we like it or not, snow is on the way.  (or you may have already had some of the white stuff)  For the papercrafter, that means getting into the holiday spirit.

So for this week, we'd love to see your holiday cards or layouts with a twist - - no traditional colours to be used - no red or green!!  What will you come up?

Let's see what the design team has created.



 Shirley Ross

Paige Dolecki..



We look forward to seeing your festive holiday creations using non-traditional colours!!!  Come on and join us.  You have until November 30th to participate in this and any other November challenge.
