12 Days of Christmas - Getting Started!

Friday, November 30, 2012

*The Current November Challenge (5+ Buttons) is open until Dec. 6th.
 Click on the link on the sidebar.*



Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas! We are thrilled to be bringing this fun event filled with amazing prizes to you! 

We will not be doing our regular Friday Challenges during the month of December. Instead, we are going to do The 12 Days of Christmas! You don't celebrate Christmas? Don't worry.... this event is designed so that everyone can play along! Here are the rules:

1. Starting December 1st and going until the 21st, we are going to introduce 12 challenges to you. For each challenge, you will be given a product that you must use on your project. Depending on the day the challenge is given, you will have to use the product that many times. (On the 1st Day of Chirstmas there will be a product used 1 time, on the 2nd Day of Christmas you will have a product you use 2 times and so on!)

2. We will give you the ENTIRE month of December to complete these challenges! All projects are due on December 31th at midnight (CST).

3. Projects can be a card, layout or off the page project. If you are creating a December Daily, you can use that too!

4. There will be links set up on the side bar so you can easily find each of the challenges.

Fabulous Friday Challenge - Buttons!

Is it really the end of November?! Wow! Next thing you know, we are going to blink and it will be December!! heehee!! It's Friday and that means it is time for a new challenge! This week, we would like for you to use 5 or more buttons on your cards, layout or off the page projects!

This week our challenge is being sponsored by Creative Cuts and More! They were nice enough to send some of their amazing products to our Design Team so we are going to share those projects with you first!


Designer Note: I used this super cute metal tin and accordion papers from this week's sponsor, Creative Cuts and More. I have more details and pics to share with you on my blog. You can click HERE for the details!





From our sponsor Creative Cuts and More - I recieved this awesome thick chipboard mini with various shaped pages... It was so awesome that it came in black!!  I loved having the different shaped pages to play with and it allowed me to keep the pages generally designed the same, but still look different.  I also used the felt flower, filmstrip die cut and label shown in the 2 pages above.  I used papers from a regular Frosted Design sponsor, Graphic 45 to make this Pumpkin mini.  Come visit my blog today to see all 6 pages and other supplies from our sponsor Creative Cuts and More.


Barb made a mini album using Creative Cuts and More Gingerbread House Album Chipboard Kit along with the Gingerbread Shape Assortment die cuts. You can find more details on her blog HERE




Anita used the Banner Chipboard Mini Album from Creative Cuts and More and turned it into a holiday banner. She used buttons to form one of her "O"s



And here are some other projects our Design Team created using 5+ buttons...












We are thrilled to welcome back 
as this week's sponsor!
