NOVEMBER 2018 ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hi there house friends!  

Wow!  Where did this month go?  Holy smokes!!!! 

If you follow the challenges at The House That Stamps Built blog (blog of Repeat Impressions stamps), you'll know we have challenges each and every Wednesday.  You have the full month to enter every week's challenge before a winner is chosen to win a gift certificate of $25.00 for any stamps in the Repeat Impressions store.  If you use a Repeat Impressions stamp in your entry, you're entered twice in that challenge.  

So, come on over and play along with us, every week or only one, and even if it takes you all month to create a card for each challenge, we hope you'll do it.

Now, it's the last Wednesday of this month so the challenge is "Anything Goes".  Here's a card I made and I hope it inspires you to join us.  


Winter, buffalo plaid (we all wore coats of this wool growing up), wood and Christmas.  They call came together in this card.  I used RI# 6006-M "Forest Positive" and RI#3907-G "Rejoice".  (This stamp is in the "spring" category, but it fits Christmas too.) 

There's a little bit of myself in each card I make and this one took on a life of it's own as I created it.  It's a small snapshot of growing up in a small mountain/lake town, wearing wool coats and playing outside in the woods during the winters.  Christmas was special. My father would take my brothers and sister and I and we'd go out in the woods and find a tree....some of them look very much like the Peanuts' Christmas tree, LOL...but we'd pick it out and dad would chop it down and we'd drag it home. I'm rejoicing in those memories.  

Please join our challenge this week....the details on how to enter and what you could win are at THE HOUSE.  

Also, my team mates are rocking this ATG challenge.  If you need a rocket boost, check them out.


Thanks so much for stopping by today, I'm glad you did.

I am loving the"buffalo plaid" that is so popular - and it works so well with your focal image. Again another image that I didn't pay much attention to but....is on my list!!! Great job.
