Well I got my card made yesterday, and I’ve missed the cutoff! Oh well, it was a fun challenge this month, and challenged me to use colors I wouldn’t normally choose.
Thanks for inspiration!
It always is fun to really think out of the box and try to be different. I love PF and it is so much fun to create with them, And I love the inks. Can’t wait to finish my set! Check out #35..
I loved pulling out some of my older, beloved Pinkfresh goodies to make a Christmas card for the challenge. The layered wreath came out perfect die cut from white felt. Always great that your themes are broad enough for everyone to be able to enter.
Great theme & inspiration this month! I snuck in my entry just in time!
I love layering, especially with your products. I would love to see a ton-sur-ton challenge in the future.
Yay, I adore layering! This challenge inspired me to use so many different Pfs products for my design.
I was inspired to create a single page layout. Layers were challenging but I did it!

Great challenge. I love playing with layers and I enjoyed playing along to this challenge.
I can’t wait to see all the contributions!
I followed along with Lea today and then made my version of the card for this challenge.
I played a few more times! These challenges are really good at getting me to use my Pinkfresh stash. :)
Lovely projects!!
I used the Good Times collection for this layout. I also used the shaker tag book die set.
Oh JOY! Joining in again with the delightful team inspiration!!!
I like Monochromatic and Ombre suggestions for an upcoming challenge….
Loving playing along!
HUGE hugs and thanks to the wonderfully creative team. It takes a lot of time, creativity, love and energy to put forth all the creations for inspiration that you share. Deep Thanks.
YOU inspire me. (Too spend way too much money on PF products, KIDDING, I need MORE!!!) MUAH!!!!

Mine’s the “feeling festive” :). Some ideas for more challenges: feature origami; heat emboss (through a stencil if you want to make it specific ); use non-scrapbooking products on a layout (recycle); monochromatic; paper only; large photo; grid; use a song title for a layout title; do something different with photo(s); use punches; use stamps; doodle
Such beautiful inspiration! Loving the colors and I adore layers!!!
Oh!!!!! Loving the colors and team projects!!!!!!
