SOS #221: Wooden It Be Nice

It's Tuesday, and time for a new challenge. This week's theme is Wooden It Be Nice, and we'd like you to use wood on your project. There are so many options: wood veneer pieces, wood paper, wood-looking patterned paper, wood accessories. Use this challenge as an excuse to dig through your stash to find unloved wooden stuff. I might have dug up a package of wooden letters.

Here's how the ladies have interpreted the challenge:

Alica

Jessi

Donna

Lauren

Leslie

Barbara

Chris

Deena

Now it's YOUR turn. Go into your stash and find some wood or wood-looking items, use them to make something, then come back and link up below so we can stop by and see what you've made.

The link-up will be open until Monday, Oct 5th, at 11:55 pm EDT. Please limit your total number of challenges to 13, including ours.

SOS & Jingle Belles BONUS Challenge

Yes, that's right! Once again we are teaming up with the Jingle Belles for their scheduled challenge. It's not Christmas in July, it's Christmas in September! This will be a bonus challenge here at SOS, in addition to our regular Tuesday challenges.

The only requirement for this challenge is you need to use something at least a year old. We're all about using our stash, after all. And you need to tell us in your post what that item is. I guess that's two requirements. Oh, and it has to be a Christmas card. Okay, three. (If you don't make Christmas cards, we'll take Chanukah, Holiday, Winter, etc. Whatever you'd normally enter in a Christmas card challenge.)

The Jingle Belles challenges run for almost two weeks, so there's lots of time to play. The link-ups on both blogs will be open until Wed, Sept 23rd. See - LOTS of time.

Instead of the Top 3, we'll have a clear winner (who will receive something from my "WHY DID I BUY TWO OF THESE?!" basket), and two honorable mentions. Jingle Belles is also offering a nice prize.

Here's a card from Stef from the Jingle Belles:

And here's what the SOS ladies have made for the challenge:

Donna

There are more of our cards over on the Jingle Belles blog. Please make sure to stop over there to check them out!

Now it's YOUR turn. Go dig out some Christmas/Holiday goodies, make something, then come back and link up below so we can stop by and see what you've made. Also, don't forget to link up at Jingle Belles - two chances to win!
