ABC13 ~ Birthday Cards

'Happy Birthday'

Today is one of our DT members' birthday!  Happy Birthday, Lela!  And this week is also my birthday, my husband's birthday, and my youngest daughter's birthday.  She will turn 4 in a few days.  So I thought it might be fun to make some birthday cards this week.  You can create any birthday card you would like.

ABC2 ~ Halloween in a Hurry & Fast Fall Cards

Good Morning!  Thank you to everyone for playing along with our first challenge last week and for helping to spread the word about our new challenge blog!  We were amazed at how many entries we had and they were 'All Beautiful Cards'.  If you are looking for the winners from last week please see my post below. 

On a personal note I'd like to take a minute and express our thoughts and prayers for those of you who are in the path of the storm that is traveling up the east coast.  I live in NE Pennsylvania and I will most likely lose my power (so if I'm not around you'll know why).  Our local schools have already closed for today and tomorrow.  Everyone, be safe and try to stay dry!  I'm hoping this storm won't be nearly as bad as they are saying. 

Halloween in a Hurry

Halloween is approaching quickly and if you're like me you still haven't finished your Halloween cards.  No problem, because today's challenge is going to fix that.  'Halloween in a Hurry'!  This week we are making Halloween cards that are made in 30 minutes or less.

 OR

Fast Fall Cards

If you've already finished your Halloween cards then you sure are on top of things, but we still want you to play along so go ahead and show us your fall themed cards that you made in 30 minutes or less.

ABC1 ~ New to You ~

Hi everyone and welcome to our first 'ABC' All Beautiful Cards blog challenge.  Thank you for the wonderful response to my first design team call and to our new followers.  Be sure to spread the word and help our blog challenge grow!  And with that said, I'd like to present our very first challenge!  

~New to You~

Since our blog challenge is new to you, I thought it was only fitting that we create cards using something 'New to You'.  Please state what the 'new to you' item(s) are within your post.

It can be a stamp you just traded for, a new ink pad, ribbon your friend gave you, or even some paper that you bought long ago and haven't opened yet.  It doesn't have to be brand new, but it should be 'New to You' and something that you've never used before.  You can even create a card using a new technique.

Remember cards only!

Don't have a blog?  No problem, we will visit your online gallery, simply use the keywords ABC1 for this challenge.
