2PeasRefugees Mock Hero Arts Christmas Circles

Apparently the November Monthly Hero Arts kit was listed as sold out within 24 hours of being posted. On the TwoPeasRefugees site, Grammadee posted a picture and a link and wondered publicly if she could make something similar with what she already had. So I suggested a challenge for those of us who want to try. The top one with the deer was my version of a sample on the Hero Arts site, only I used Queen & Co. dies. I decided to do more of my own designs for the other two, and I like them better.

I realized after I made the three shown below, that I misjudged the probable size, but I was using a circle die that seemed to fit what wreath dies I had. It was a fun little challenge, regardless. I don't know if I'll add these to cards, turn them into ornaments, Christmas tags, use them on a scrapbook page, or what I'll do with them.

CARDtober Challenge 31 You Bought It, Now Use It

I only just got this Queen & Co. newly released shaker set on Friday. I started making a card with the kit this weekend, but DH and I went out for most of the day, and I got really sick from re-exposure to allergens. I finally finished the card today, the last day for submitting CARDtober challenges. Granted, I'm not on a team, so it doesn't count for points, but I got all 31 challenges done, the 4th year in a row that I have succeeded in doing them all.
