Our newest challenge at FarmQuest starts today and tomorrow (January 15), we collaborate with Double Trouble through the end of the month (January 31.) Our theme at FarmQuest is "Winter Activities," things like skating, skiing, sledding, or even sleigh rides. In addition to that, Double Trouble wants you to use embossing folders or stencils. (See below)
says, "It's Wintertime and I'm just chillin' so I don't want to make things complicated. That's why I'm asking you to pull embossing folders and/or stencils from your stash to create a project with a wintry country feeling."
You can stop here...
OR
play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist to help you earn another chance in our random drawing.
says, "Remember the song, "Playmate, Come Out and Play with Me"? If you come out and play with me, be ready to enjoy skiing, sledding, sleigh riding, tobogganing, or skating. My optional twist is to include one of these winter sports in your project to earn an additional chance in our random drawing.
"And let's not forget National Hat Day is January 15th. This is a fun observance when you wear and enjoy any hat of your choice and style. If you also include a hat in your project we have a 'January Special' for you - a second random drawing in addition to our usual one."
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to create a wintry theme and have included a winter sport, you are eligible to enter your project HERE at Farm Quest Challenge #44 and you will qualify for an additional chance in our random drawing."
January Special: While not a requirement don't forget if you have included a hat in your project you are eligible for our 'January Special' - another drawing in addition to our usual random drawing.
For my card, I used an Ice skate image from Jan's Digi Stamps, colored with Sanjoki markers, and fussy cut with scissors. The winter themed frame was made using a die from Amy Designs and it has embossing on it. The background is Swiss Dot embossed on sparkly, glitter paper. The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die. The image, the frame, and the sentiment are all mounted onto dimensional tape for a raised effect and visual interest.
Challenges:

Come play in our challenge this week and if you use an embossing folder or a stencil, then enter it over at Double Trouble, too. We look forward to seeing what you create. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
