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.

Don't have a blog?  No problem, we will visit your online gallery, simply use the keywords ABC2 for this challenge and enter using the link from your online gallery.  


Here are a few samples from our new design team to get you started!
