It's Tuesday, and time for a new challenge. This week we'd like you to Go Paperless, meaning no patterned paper. You can use this opportunity to work on your custom background skills with paint or ink, or you  could use an embossing folder. Or card stock. Or go nekkid! Be creative!

Here's how the ladies have interpreted this week's challenge:

Now it's YOUR turn! Conjure up some ideas for your project that do not include patterned paper, make something, then link up below so we can stop by and see what you've made.

The link-up will be open until Monday, (OMG, it's November!) Nov 2nd, at 11:55 pm EST (time change in the US on Nov 1st! Fall Back!). Please limit your total number of challenges to 13, including ours.

Shameless Promotion (FOR A GOOD CAUSE)

This is a shameless promotion for the Jingle Belles blog challenge that begins this Friday.


If you've played along with ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ in previous years, you probably already know that the first prompt of October --which is, of course, Breast Cancer Awareness Month-- is always PINK CHRISTMAS, that the brief is to make a holiday card which (perhaps you've guessed?) has at least a bit of pink in it, and that Stephanie and Lauren each donate $2 for every card linked up during this fortnight.

This year they'll be donating to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, which focuses strongly on the research aspect of the disease and has earned very high marks from charity evaluation sites such as Charity Navigator. There's no limit to how many brand new ♥PINK♥ holiday cards you can submit, so they'd love for you to join them early and often! Just link up at this post (goes live at midnight on Friday, Oct 9th) before 6pm on Wednesday, October 21st.

So start planning your Christmas card with PINK in it, and we hope you'll play along with The Belles starting this Friday.

(End of shameless promotion.)
