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

Here are our amazing Design Team samples to get your mojo flowing! While you are looking check out our amazing new Designers and leave them some love.
