This week we want you to create a project that is about, includes, or holds a holiday recipe. This could be a scrapbook page, a mini album, a recipe box or book, a Gift for a Neighbor . . . the sky’s the limit. But we want to see you pay tribute to a holiday recipe in some way.

Project must be newly created for this challenge and must include atleast 2 different cuts from any Cricut cartridge to qualify.

For this challenge I created a accordian fold recipe box. Cricut cuts: Recipes-From My Kitchen, Sweet Holiday-Winter Frolic, Snowflake-Graphically speaking, images on card-Gingerbread. I love sugar cookies made with powdered sugar and of course lots of frosting and decorated.

Weekly Challenge #9: Black Friday Challenge!



This Weekly Challenge has a “Black Friday” twist! Here’s what we want you to do this week . . . Include the color black in your project AND recycle or repurpose something. Also, 2 Cricut cuts are required.

I bought the Noel decoration at Wal-Mart after Christmas on a great sale. It has sat upstairs since then. For this challenge I unearthed it and added cuts from A Child's Year, Winter Frolic and When It's cold outside. The black shadows were perfect against the gold. If it hadn't been for this challenge, it would still be in the bag!
