ANYTHING GOES WEEK!!!

Hello, friends! Well, it's been a l-o-n-g month, hasn't it?! We've got just one week more for you--but we're keeping it easy--it's ANYTHING GOES!!!

Here's a little inspiration from the two of us!

As Mynnette says - it's Anything Goes so for one week only I've moved away from cards and made a couple of 3D objects instead. Still Christmassy though and if you pop over to my blog I will tell you how I made them - back to cards next week!

Please link up your projects below, and follow the following rules:

*Please link back to our blog in your post so that others can join in the fun.
*We would love it if you added our button to the side of your blog
*Please make sure to link to your POST, not your blog.
*Please make sure NOT to back link.
*In order to be considered for Top Honor or Honorable Mention, you must link up by Friday at 6:00pm GMT.
*You are free to enter this challenge and 10 others only.
*We'd really appreciate it if you'd turn off word verification so that we can comment more easily!

Embellishment Challenge #3

So, two months ago you all found out about my obsession with bling--namely rhinestones! This month, I've chosen another obsession for my embellishment challenge--and it's a little different. I want to see you embellish with patterned paper! Ask my DH, I have so much patterned paper, I could open my own craft store and stay opened for at least a year! So, what better way to use it than to create embellishments with it?!

Here's our inspiration for you~

Need some more inspiration? Okay, we are here and ready to oblige! Please click on our names to go to our blogs and read how we've used our patterned paper!

March Sketch Honorable Mentions & Top Honor

Sorry this is a little later than usual, I (Mynnette) was out late last night at the local high school musical. My 16 year old sister was Cinderella, my 11 year old sister was in the chorus, and my 9 year old sister was young Cinderella! So, it was a L-O-N-G celebratory night! ;)

Enough about me, we know you're here to see the honors from last week's sketch!
