Challenge #32 - Cut it Out

Hey it's Friday and that means that we have a new challenge for you. The winner and Top 3 of the HALLOWEEN challenge will be announced on Monday.

First off I want to thank all of you for making our  first ever blog hop a success. We will be doing another one in January to mark the 1st Anniversary of CMM Challenges going public.

Now onto this week's challenge. This week we are wanting you to CUT IT OUT.
Meaning, I want to see DIE CUTS. Go ahead and pull out your Nesties, your Cricut carts, your decorative punches, or your pre-bought die-cuts.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is  a new one to the Card Makin Mamas family and I am sure you will fall in love  with them as much as we did. 

Please  help me welcome Saturated Canary. They are offering a prize of 2 free digis of the winner's choice.



Saturated Canary has kindly provided each of our team members an image to play with and we thank them very much!

Here are some amazing samples from our Design Team!

                                  Ciska using Snow White - A Princess


                                      Lizzie using Violet - A Ragamuffin 

                      Penny  using Tressa - A Princess

                         Sara using Stroppy Beth - A Ragamuffin


Dee and I will be back next Friday sharing our cards for Inspiration, along with us highlighting some of your work.

You've got 2 weeks to play in our challenge, so there is plenty of time!  
WE ONLY ACCEPT TWO ENTRIES PER PERSON. I COUNT YOUR FIRST TWO AND THEN ALL OTHERS WILL BE DELETED. THIS IS TO MAKE  IT FAIR FOR ALL ENTRANTS.

Where were you when you first heard of CMM?  CMM first started off as group of crafty ladies on Cafemom.  Then as social media took over the world we moved to Facebook to spread our wings!  With so many awesome ladies begging for challenges, we started this blog just over a year ago... and VIOLA!  CMM Challenges was born!  You guys have been great over the years and we all appreciate each and every one of you!!  It is b/c of you guys that we do this!  And lets not forget our AMAZING sponsors!  They have been greater than great!  And it's even more fun to see them grow as a business as we grow in popularity!

But wait... this is a hop!  That means that along the way there will be MORE chances to win digi images!  Holy Moly Spicy Gaucamole!

Just follow this line up and hop along and enter for your chances to win!



So if you ever get lost, just head back here and find your place!  And when you reach the last blog you will be directed to come back here and comment on this post saying you completed the hop! Well how do you complete the hop?  By going to each blog and leaving a comment!!  Easy enough right?

Good luck to everyone!
