New cards for the Christmas Card Challenge!
I made a card for the "use wrapping paper challenge" (http://www.scrapbook.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/1579321/tp/1/) and I was pretty happy with how it turned out. I was able to use a feature on my cricut machine that I hadn't ever used before. The "center point" function. I love it! I was able to pick the part of the design that I wanted to be on the snowflake, hit the center point button and voila! It cut the snowflake around that point!
I also just finished another challenge (one every week at http://www.scrapbook.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/1579321/tp/1/) which was "use a Christmas tree". I just got a new Darice embossing folder of a Christmas tree that I LOVE. I liked it so much I couldn't stop making cards with it! What do you think? Which version is your favorite? I'd love to know!

New Challenge/Idea Swap!
I have started a new challenge in the forums on scrapbook.com... for those of you who are interested in joining here is the link: http://www.scrapbook.com/forums/showtopic.php?fid/95/tid/1579321/pid/15518857/post/last/#LAST
This is a virtual swap of Christmas card ideas. I am trying to make a variety of Christmas cards to send out his year but I am having a hard time with inspiration. So, I am looking for ideas to scraplift! I seem to better with challenges to tell me where to start, like giving a specific color, or design element, or layout to use. The basic idea is that anyone who wants to join in the challenges is able to. All we are going to be doing is posting the challenge (stating the color, design element, layout, etc) on Sundays and then giving us a week or two (TBD) to make a card for that challenge and post a picture or a link to a picture. That is it! If you don't want to participate one week, or don't have time, don't worry, there is no commitment requirement!
I have also just joined the new Cut It Up Challenge Blog! This challenge will be starting Sept. 7th, 2012 and will have a new challenge every other Friday. The challenges will all be to use some sort of die cut and possibly some other element.
Can't wait to start and see everyone else's cards!
