Challenge #76 Twine

Challenge #76 Twine

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our stuffed crafting friends in the US and welcome to the busy, hectic holiday season for all of our friends across the globe!

Sew Many Challenges will be taking a well deserved break after this challenge, to give our designers some time to spend with their families. We will resume challenges, starting January 6.

We will be posting spots as our designers have time, so check back often for inspiration!

Our last challenge of 2011 is: TWINE. There is lots of it out here and we can't wait to see how you use it!

Here is what we did with it.

Challenge #75 Stair Steps

Challenge #75 Stair Steps

We really enjoyed seeing the vellum creations from last week. We didn't get many, but what we did get was awesome. So many clever ways to use it!

This week's challenge is to make a stair step card. Stair step cards are fun and easy to do. You can find some great tutorials on how to do these. Here are a few that I found helpful here and here.

This week's dollar deal is a digi of this yummy pie. Our DT is busy making real pies, so we don't have many to show you this week.

Link your card below and we sure to include a link back to us on your post. Please link to your post and not just your blog. It makes it so much easier for us to visit and leave comments.

Jamie - Hanneke
Mari - Nanniflash
Deanette - Misteejay
Juelmarie -
Zahreen - Cat
Stacy - Cat
Sarah - hanneke
Denise -

If you won and have not already heard from the designer who's blog you won from, please contact her. Sometimes we have a hard time contacting the winner with the info from the comments.

For some sad news. Last weeks hop was our last week with Zahreen. We wish her well and hope to see her around blogland. We will miss you Zahreen.

This week's challenge is Vellum. It is such a beautiful paper, but if you are like me, sadly under used. So this week we would love to have you dig it out of your stash and use it.

The DT had lots of fun using it and we can't wait to see what fun ways you found to use it.

Georgia - She printed her image on Vellum! Look closely at the hat and candle.

Jamie

Juelmarie

Denise - Where is her vellum you ask? It is inside.
