Fall is here Challenge #54

Sorry this is a few days late, it appears as though Blogger ate my original post from Friday. I have talked to several people recently about blogger posts going missing into the vast internet black hole. Sad that they can't seem to figure this out. Oh well.

Now onto the new challenge. The challenge this week is a FALL THEME CHALLENGE. I want to see all cards related to things you find in the Autumn season. That can be anything from Harvest to Halloween. Heck just as long as you use FALL colors I will be happy. YOU MUST MAKE A CARD OR ELSE YOUR ENTRY WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. 

Our amazing sponsor this week is BUGABOO STAMPS

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay:
As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 

 If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps   at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

They will be offering the winner of this challenge  FREE DIGIS

We are currently looking for a FEW (or more) NEW CARD MAKERS to join our 

AWESOME DESIGN TEAM!!

The upcoming  DT term is from September through December. As you know our challenges run bi-weekly and you will be required to do a card for each challenge. We have lovely and generous sponsors and when we are supplied with items to work with I ask that you do so. Also, I ask that you post on your challenge creation on your blog and comment on your designated challenge entries.

So if you are interested in joining us as a Design Team Member please e-mail me HERE. In the email, please tell me a little about yourself and your card making journey, why you want to be on our team, a link to your blog,  and attach 3 cards that you feel best show off your talents.

We are a fun bunch and we look forward to having some of you join the party here at CMM.

We will be accepting DT submissions through the end of the day on September 7th. That gives you just over two weeks to get your applications in. The newly chosen DT members will begin in September.
