Challenge #10 - Fall Festival

Hello Dies R Us Fans!
Welcome back to another fun challenge!
Congratulations again to the 'Back to School' challenge winners!
(PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE WINNER'S POST) 

We appreciate those who found the time to participate in our 'Back to School' challenge.  It seems a lot of folks must have been busy getting their kiddos 'back to school' and not much time for crafting.  SO SAD!  But, hopefully now that they are once again settling into their school year, MOM will have a little more time to play!  We all need a bit of "ME" time this time of year!

Today's challenge is:
Fall Festival
(remember you must use die cuts on your creations
 to qualify for our prize)


Here on the USA East Coast, we're really starting to feel FALL in the air and the leaves are already starting to change color.   With that in mind, here are a couple photos for inspiration.

Speaking of inspiration! 
Let's see what the ladies on Team B have to inspire us today . . .

Marianne Design Ivy, Birdhouse, Bird LR0206
Marianne Design Wooden Bench LR0259






Fabulous Fall inspiration ladies!  Thanks!

Challenge #9 - Back to School

Welcome back to the Dies R Us Challenge Blog!
Thanks to everyone who participated in our
'Stitching' challenge!  We appreciate your support and your work was amazing!! 


Congratulations again to the 'Stitching' challenge winners!

Today's challenge is:
Back To School
(remember you must use die cuts on your creations

Though difficult to believe, it is that time of the year here in the U.S.A., for our children to head back to school for another year of education.  Where has the summer gone?  In fact, most schools are already back in session so we thought it would be fun to see what everyone would create using Back To School as our theme.  We hope you'll join in the fun!

Now let's see what TEAM A has created to inspire us today ...


Spellbinders - Delicate Doilies 














Barbara
Penny Black - Dies - In A Row
Cheery Lynn - Flourish Leaf Strip
Tattered Lace Mini Dies - Oriental Loop Border
