November Guest Designer Challenge and Chatter: My Favorite Things

ked · 3 Weeks Ago

"I'm dreaming of a WHITE Christmas!"

Who wants to receive next month’s UNRELEASED sets (DT sample sets—no packaging or labels, valued at $50-$80) AND be invited to participate in our monthly blog hop, as well as partake in next month’s MFTeasers???

Well, if you're sitting in front of your computer thinking "ME! ME!", then let me tell you how you can win this contest...

Amy and I are your hostesses this month, and we've cooked up a challenge that will leave you wishing for snow! The deal is to make a project using WHITE as the primary color! Your project can be anything you want to make, be it card, scrapbook page, giftie item - whatever! Just make sure that it's mostly WHITE!

Other important details:

Projects must feature the use of some MFT stamps or products, but are not limited strictly to MFT stamps or products.

The deadline for entries is Tuesday, November 3rd, 10 p.m. EST.

When uploading your entries, please use keyword MFTGUESTDT1109.

The two DT Guest Designer hostesses (Amy and I) will review all entries and choose ONE winner no later than 8:45 p.m. EST on Wednesday, November 4th.

The winner will be announced in the release party thread as well as in this challenge thread on November 4th, by 8:45 p.m. EST.

Please do not "double dip" for the challenges. If you can win something tangible, then your entry needs to be ONLY for that challenge.

We can't wait to see what you all come up with!!

raduse · 3 Weeks Ago

Amy, will you please do a tutorial, or something, for that snowglobe. My headache is just not letting me follow the blog directions for some reasons. I want to make a snowglobe sometime this winter!!

KelliJo · 3 Weeks Ago

I hope to play!!! I am working the next 7 days in a row, and have been up late a lot lately... cant get to bed for some reason and that damn alarm clock is REALLY RUDE at 0330...

Kim, did you think you REALLY needed to stress worth fightin for???

It's a DUH! Kinda comment... LOL

cveneruso · 3 Weeks Ago

I love white layered cards. I made a couple wedding cards that way, but I didn't think to do a Christmas card that way. I just gave myself a thunk on the head for that. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Thanks for the challenge. It was tons of fun.

TreasureOiler · 3 Weeks Ago

Oh this sounds fun and after seeing that card of Amy's today....wowzers!

Hope I can find some spare time tomorrow to get busy stamping! I admit, white scares me a little

Hi Bonnie, the snowglobe effect on my challenge sample card? For that, I stamped and colored the Polar Love image and die-cut it into a cicle. I drew in the horizontal lines for the ground. Then I masked the Polar Love image (I used Eclipse tape) and with the Spellbinders circle die in place I sponged on Soft Sky ink. Removed the mask and added the sentiment label along the bottom (also die-cut with a Spellbinders tag die). Hope that helps!

Michele posted a really awesome snowglobe shaped card yesterday, too - with instructions included.

PickleTree · 2 Weeks Ago

Love the entries so far! Keep 'em comin'! I left my comments in the galleries.

Holiday Inn is one of my favorites! Did you know the song "White Christmas" was performed in that movie first?

I would love to join the challenge, but I don't own any MFT products yet.

We do offer digital images, which can be downloaded immediately after purchase, so there's still time!!

BTW - I am totally out of the loop on Holiday Inn...who wants to fill me in??? There's a Blockbuster nearby (shocking!) and I've got a coupon!

1busymomof2 · 2 Weeks Ago

I hope I can play this sounds like fun...ok I need to be super organized today, lots to do

I did know that White Christmas was performed in Holiday Inn first. I actually saw Holiday Inn first.

Kim - Holiday Inn is an Irving Berlin movie with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. It's old - still in B&W but I just love it. My mom and I watch it year round as it goes through all the holidays incl. Easter, Thanksgiving, etc (although the focus is Christmas).... There's a rivalry between Bing and Fred for a girl, so it's cute and funny!

Thank you for the details. I really, really, REALLY love your card. I'm going to make a snowglobe, not for the challenge; haven't figured out what I'm going to do for it yet.

okcapitolgirl · 2 Weeks Ago

Good grief - Just read Joanne's blog about the challenge. I've been traveling for work and just had a chance to check this out! I guess I better get busy! White, huh? Let me see what I can come up with. . . .

okcapitolgirl · 2 Weeks Ago

Good grief Amy - your sample is so spectacular! I love it! WOWWIE KAZOWWIE!

ljn162 · 2 Weeks Ago

TreasureOiler · 2 Weeks Ago

This is my favorite Christmas movie. I always watch it while I write out my cards each year.
