Challenges are a way to try something different and or use supplies that you personally hadn't chosen to create with. I on the one hand, love challenges because it is often a way to get me out of my personal "box" and comfort zone. Sometimes however, they are kind of stressful when I try to be creative on someone else's time limit or supply choices. LOL
Anyhoo...at the recent Cricut Swarm TA gave a challenge with supplies, printed paper, ribbon and fiber and a stamp-all to be used on our challenge project. It was, as you can see, a halloween project. I didn't spend a whole lot of time on mine because I was working on some layouts I already shared the other day so this is what I came up with. I am not so fond of the tag and the words needed to be matted so that you can distinguish it from the background but I actually love it in the end.
TA put the entrants on the Cricut Message board chat and I didn't even get a single vote....LOL That's OK I didn't make it for others but for me and it was fun when I wasn't stressing to get it finished.

Next challenge is for the Bitten By the Bug blog and sponsored by Peggy Loves Vintage.
This darling elephant is just one of the many, many vintage images that Peggy has collected and sells on her website for very reasonable prices. The challenge was to use one of two images and create something...making sure you use some sort of Cricut cut or more than one if you wish.
When you open the card and there is the Happy Birthday pop dotted up to allow the image to stand up. Ribbon from Oriental trading.
I messed about this for along time but I loved how it turned out. Again I don't care if I win anything but I enjoyed the process.
