Black Tie's #7

Hey it's Friday!  Can we say that again? I know I'm excited :)  I'd really like to meet someone who just really didn't like Friday....I wonder if it's possible?

It's Shauna's week for this challenge, and I was excited for it as soon as she announced to the team what it would be.  It includes two of my favorite things!

The design team came up with some wonderful things.  Let's see what they look like....

They all just turned out so amazing!  I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with this week.  I've extended the Linky List for a couple of hours since it's due on Halloween.  Everyone is going to be getting ready for the fun evening of trick or treating I'm sure.

Well gals it's that time again!!  I'm impressed with your creativity in the cards that you've made.  This one was tricky for sure!!!  We're happy to see some new players this week!

Black Tie's #5

We all like to give out a high five at the office when someone does something good.  People love High Five's.  Babies, kids in school, sport games, it's awesome like that.  That's why this weeks challenge is awesome!  I like to imagine a little starburst escapes the hands when they slap together.

Ah, see it?  Me too!  So your challenge this week is....you guessed it....

The design team has created some awesome starburst stuff for you to see.

Hey all, it's Friday!  TGIF right?  I know that's what I'm feeling.  It's been a crazy, whirlwind, dizzy week at our house.  Tonight is the first night I don't have anything to do.  I might hit the craft room since I missed out on a couple of challenges that I wanted to partake in this week.


We've made it to week 4 and we hope you'll find the challenge fun!!

It's Tiffany's week, and she's excited to see what you all come up with!
