I've been having a great time today with online friends, enjoying some fantastic challenges that have got the creativity pumping around again.
I kind of prefer to think of WCMD as a weekend long event so I'll still be at it tomorrow trying to get even more challenges finished.
I'd love to hear what you have all been doing to celebrate WCMD. Did you get together with friends or enjoy some quiet creative time by yourself?
So far I've finished 3 challenges but have only photographed two of them.
This first one was a challenge set by Manon at Scrap Boutique.
She posted the instructions to make a cute tag accordion style card. I changed mine a bit though as I got an idea to use the cute K & Co tags that I had.
This is going to be Molly's Christmas card for this year.
This is the cover & as it unfolds it tells a little story that I'm sure she'll get a giggle out of.
1st fold
2nd fold
3rd fold
& 4th fold.
This is the back cover.
And this is how the inside looks unfolded all together.
The second one is a challenge set by my friend, Gill, at Scrap Pile.
Naughty Gill really mucked around with my head on this one, LOL.
Her challenge was to make a simple Christmas card that was only one layer & using a stamp & one other embellishment.
Now I'll be the first to admit that I don't do simple very well, I love putting heaps on my cards, the poor things can't stand up sometimes, they're so heavy, LOL.
Anyway, I tried & I tried & after tossing 3 failed attempts I came up with this.
It was really hard to leave it alone because I kept wanting to add stuff, hehehe.
I used a piece of double sided MM paper & tore the bottom edge of the front to reveal the pattern on the inside. The stamp I used is from Stampin Up & I added a MM poinsettia flower.
Well it's gone midnight here so I'd better head off for some sleep as I'm off to visit Chloe & the grandkids tomorrow & we're all going along to check out the garage sale at Just Scrapbooking.
Hopefully there will be some great bargains. Molly has even saved her pocket money.
Hope you all had a wonderful WCMD & please leave me a link so I can check out what you created today too :)

Your cards look great Jewls and after stopping by Melissa's blog I can see you and her had the same problem.
Just love the card for Molly Jewls. I had a giggle over her and Tilly playing under the tables att he sale today. Did you manage to pick up any bargins. lol I spent a whole $7.
Have fun with your grandbabies!
Your cards are gorgeous - I think I would struggle with the simple one too - but you've pulled it off so well. It looks fabbo. I'm sure Molly will be thrilled with her tag card.
Take care!
