MDCC20 - Same Product Many Ways OR a Color Challenge!

Hello, welcome to our Thursday cardmaking challenge! I'd like to take a minute to thank everyone who played last week's table decor challenge; I wasn't sure how many takers we'd have because some people are a little intimidated to move off the 'cardbase', but you all really pulled through and sent us some awesome entries! Check out this sample from this week's winner, Andrea:


















Congratulations Andrea! (Make sure you pm me your address so I can get your prize out :) I hope you'll go back and look at everyone's entries - we had a hard time having only one winner!
This week I decided to do something a little different and fun for our design team - I sent them a "surprise" package with special products to use just for this challenge! The idea is to see what kind of different ideas everyone can come up with given the same materials to work with. I did allow them to use up the three colors of cardstock in addition to what we sent. Here was our surprise package:












Each person received two sheets of double sided pattern paper and two silk glittered snowflakes from My Little Yellow Bicycle's Christmas Magic collection, along with a bottle of white opal Liquid Pearls and a gingerbread man stamp from Imaginisce.
Now, you may be wondering how you can play along with us - well, you still can! For everyone who wants to play along with will be a color challenge - for those who use SU colors they would be Always Artichoke, Sage Shadow, and Riding Hood Red; for those who don't, think light green, dark green, and red! Bonus points for finding a gingerbread man to use on your page!! Look at the beautiful samples our design team made:


Maria Levine: Ria Creations


















































Linda Boucher - MDC Linda's Page


















Tamara McKlveen - MDC Tamara's Page


















Isn't it amazing to see the variety of things that you can do with just a few basic supplies?? Can't wait to see what YOU can do - AND you can win these beautiful new felt flowers from Zva Creative:


Make sure to leave us a comment with a link to your creation, and use keyword MDCC20 if you upload to Splitcoast! Thanks so much for stopping in - enjoy your day!

Great challenge! I love all the different cards you made with your set of supplies! I played along with the Color Challenge and also tried to keep the look of my card similar to yours. Hope I succeeded!

Here's mine! I used AA, SS, & RR, plus I found some gingerbread paper! I was shocked that I didn't have a single gingerbread man, since I have A LOT of stamps!! One of the snowflakes is a Little Yellow Bicycle snowflake that I bought from YOU! I thought they were adhesive because that's what the back looks like, but after trying to peel the back of, I don't think they are!

Fun challenge! I decided it would be extra fun to actually make my card a gingerbread man, but she's really a lady:) Here is my creation:

OK, a bit late again. I don't usually do the scrap book challenges but Linda's Welcome sign inspired me. Then I couldn't download the Thanksgiving pix i wante4d to use from my external hard drive.

So, for a "fall" theme, I made pages featuring my son's college marching band.

You can see them here:

What a fun challenge. I couldn't find my gingerbread man stamp, so I used a gingerbread house instead.
