Make Up Monday 12/16/2013

Cookin' Up Creations challenge team member Beth brings you this week's Make Up Monday!

It is hard to believe it is the middle of December already and Christmas is only 9 days away. Cookin' Up Creations has had an awesome year of fabulous challenges, games, new members, and fantastic gallery posts.  A huge thanks to the Challenge Team and Tammy and Shawn for providing a great site for all of us.

December's theme is "25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS"! 

 Tracy  posted a card challenge for Tuesday, Dec. 10. Her challenge to you is to make some embossed Christmas cards. You can do either wet or dry embossing. Here are her great samples:

Barb posted an awesome layout for Wednesday, December 11.  She wants you to use one or more photos of decorations in your home. If you have a decoration that's new this year, so much the better. If you have new supplies or a new tool, or have acquired a new technique, use that. We just want to see holiday finery and "something new".

Jan posted our challenge for Thursday, December 12. She would like for you to create a Christmas theme layout using the traditional Christmas colors of red and green

Annie posted the challenge for Friday, December 13. She would like everyone to focus on the fun and silly part of this time of the year.  She  decided to focus on making quick and fun Confetti Shaker Packets for our pages. Here are her samples:

I posted the sketch for Saturday, December 14 in honor of the South Pole being discovered on this day in 1911, we will do a snow/winter LO. Hope you like the LO I picked and here is my sample:

Jeannie posted the challenge for Sunday, December 15. She thought a great challenge is to get into the spirit of YOUR holiday so be inspired with your winter or holiday activities. It could be playing In the snow, traveling to see family, trimming a tree, sleigh rides or what ever your family fun is this time of year.

We hope you love all the great challenges from last week and find some time to play along. The Master Chef Challenge Team at Cookin' Up Creations does not post new challenges from the 26th through the end of the month, to allow you some time to catch up on all the great challenges and earn more entries into the Dessert Tray prize drawing. You always have until at least the third day of the following month to complete the challenges and post them for prize eligibility.

Join us at Cookin' Up Creations and get in on the fun!
