ABC50 '3-2-1'

Good Morning!  Before I begin, I wanted to let you all know that we will be taking a break in December.  I'm in the process of moving and all my craft things are already packed and ready for our move plus December is just a busy month for all of our DT members so we'll be taking a break in December and we'll be back in January.  

Just a quick reminder for everyone that we ask you to please limit the number of challenges to 10 and please enter your blog post and not your general URL link.  Sometimes it's hard to find your cards if you enter your general URL.  Thanks!

Our challenge for this week is a little different.  We thought we'd try something new!

ABC50 '3-2-1'
Create any card you'd like using 3 shapes (can be all the same or different), 2 pattern papers, and 1 ribbon.  Sounds easy, right? So come play along and give it a try!

Don't have a blog?  No problem, we will visit your online gallery; simply use the keywords ABC50 for this challenge.  Below are our design team cards to get you inspired.  Be sure to click on their names to visit their blogs!

Now it's your turn, lets see those 3-2-1 cards!

Our Guest Designer, Dori

Hi everyone!  Our guest designer this week is Dori.  You can see her winning card here.

Dori made this awesome Halloween card for our challenge this week!  Don't you just love the trio of images and the cool pattern paper behind them?!!  This is a super cute card!!! 

Be sure to stop on by Dori's blog Live, Love, Laugh...and Craft:  http://www.rtjmomcraft.blogspot.com/

  
My name is Dori Shelton and I am USMC spouse and mom to three beautiful children. I have been an avid paper crafter for almost 10 years now. I started during my husband's first deployment and I have loved it every since. I find that it focuses me, helps me slow down and take a breath during a hectic day. Stop by and visit my blog when you can. I'm not always the best at updating it regularly...but I do always appreciate visitors! Thank you so much for this wonderful honor!

 
Remember, there's still time to play along with our challenge this week, the linky collection will remain open until Sunday 12 noon EST.  To enter your card in our challenge please see the post below.  Have a great day!
