Challenge #57 Midway: Opt. Twist…Kraft Paper

Welcome back folks! It is the 15th of the month and that means it is time for the midway of our current challenge.

As we are halfway through the month of September, it is time to see what the Merry Maidens have been up to with their sweet images from Pattie's Creations, our guest sponsor this month!

Clicking on the DT names will take you to the individual blogs where you can check out the details for all these wonderful cards. Helen N. is joining us during the midway and Pat is sitting it out. If you are interested in purchasing the image featured in a particular card, you can click on the link indicated below the creation to head to the page in the Pattie's Creations store where it can be found.

So if you haven't entered already, what are you waiting for? It is time to link up your Christmas and other holiday cards for September. Below you will find a refresher of the details for this challenge.

Please remember that this is a CARDS ONLY link up. While we've had some lovely tag entries, ornaments and other creative projects in the past, we've sadly had to disqualify them.

Challenge #57

Optional Twist: Kraft Paper

If you want the chance to win this month's featured paper pack, be sure to use KRAFT PAPER in your card design.  

Keep in mind though, that you don't need to follow the twist to link up your cards and earn a free paper each month or for a chance to win THREE images from the Pattie's Creations store. You simply need to follow the twist if you'd like a chance to win this month's featured digital paper pack, A Krafty Christmas.

If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I started it under the 'Introductions' tab. As this is a different kind of link up where we have both an Anything Goes Christmas or other December Holiday option AND an optional twist to follow, be sure to read all the details and rules you need to know in order to participate, by checking out the 'Challenge Details' tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). I have provided a summary of the most important rules in the right sidebar.

If you would like a say in determining which digital paper will be offered to those who link up a minimum of two cards this month, be sure to vote in our poll. Click HERE to head there now.

Talking about Pattie's Creations, it is time to refresh ourselves with the details of this returning sponsor…

I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist. I always dreamed of being an artist, but I found out quickly that I needed another field to support my family so I pursued a Degree in Information Technology. I love to use Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks to enhance my work. I just recently started selling my very own digital images and I am so excited to be here sponsoring this Challenge.

I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them.
