Flip-a-Coin Challenge at 12 Months of Christmas

For those of you who have been self-isolating, I hope you've been using your time wisely, and by wisely I mean building your stash of holiday cards!! My card today is a DT make for The 12 Months of Christmas, a challenge blog that promotes creating holiday cards yearlong. 
The challenge is Anything Holiday card Goes with a fun twist, where you'll need a coin to flip for the creation of your card. All Dressed Up is the guest sponsor, and I have used a digi called "Tra-La-La-La". I used Decosse's Dynamite Doodles paper from a kit called Snow Bokeh Trees (I love all her Bokeh papers).

Of course, I flipped my penny to "discover" my challenge requirements, and then I used my coin to cut out the greeting, which is a part of the image. Here is the flip-a-Coin box where you flip for your own requirements:

FLIP	HEADS	TAILS
1	Make a card with 3 layers or less	Make a card with 4 or more layers
2	Make a rectangular or square card	Use a fancy fold technique
3	Add dots to your card	Add stripes to your card
4	Add lace or ribbon to your card	Add gems or pearls to your card
5	Add a frame to your card	Use faux or real stitching on your card

As you can see, I flipped Heads for #1 and made a card with 3 or less layers; #2 was Tails for using a fancy fold technique; #3 Heads had me add dots to my card (if you click on my card, you'll see that all my singing animals are wearing dotted winter accessories; #4 brought out my lace; and #5 Tails caused the card to offer faux stitches.

Prize Info For This Challenge

• Main Prize being offered: TWO images of winner's choice from All Dressed Up Stamps store to one random winner.

So, how have you been putting you're isolation time to use?  My house has been cleaned, de-cluttered, organized, and redecorated in a couple rooms. My front deck is now decorated, and my tomato garden is flourishing. AND I have a healthy stack of holiday cards from which to choose this December. Of course, I don't have children to home school and entertain, nor a job to do from home. I'd love to know what you've been doing with yourself,  and I would LOVE to see your holiday cards linked to The 12 Months of Christmas Blog. See you there!

Flipping Coins at Scribbles Designs

My card today is created with a Scribbles digi called #417 Dog Bone. I have a box of craft supplies that have not yet been organized,and have been pulling out images,papers and embellishments from it and creating cards all week. I was tired of coloring realistic looking animals, so I started coloring dogs and cats crazy colors, like teal and even rainbow. But I found everything I needed for my project here, even the envelope, even though it was a real challenge this month to create a card from the box. That's because Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog has a fresh, entertaining theme for crafters,
Do you have a coin? Don't worry, you can keep it! You will need it to play along by flipping it FIVE times to discover how you will create your project this month for Scribbles. Talk about improvisation!!

Are you ready? Every time you flip the coin, it should land either heads or tails. The chart below has FIVE rows, with both a HEADS and a TAILS column. Your first flip reveals which column you will use in the first row. For example, I rolled TAILS, so I "created a card/project with at least 3 layers. Flip again and find out if you need  to (HEADS) make a rectangle or square card/project or (TAILS) make a shaped card/project. Keep flipping and you have the "recipe" for your project. I highlighted my flips for the card I made:

FLIP	HEADS	TAILS
1	Make a Clean & Simple card/project	Create a card/project with at least 3 layers
2	Make a rectangular or square card/project	Make a shaped card/project
3	Follow a tutorial	Add gemstones
4	Use glitter	Add ribbon or twine
5	Use something from your stash	Add a recycled or up-cycled item

Don't forget to link your project with Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog for your chance to win a gift certificate to the Scribbles  Store.We would love to see where serendipity led  you to your finished project!! Happy crafting!
