I never dreamed we'd get to so many entries in just 4 challenges and I thank each and every one of you for playing and promoting the challenge on your blogs.
The more we get playing the quicker we'll get sponsors and you what that means don't you?...PRIZES!!!

The recipe this week is:

Time for Challenge #3 and the winner from #2

Happy Thursday everyone!
Thanks to everyone who played along with the last challenge. We are gathering more entrants and #1 got 4 and #2 got 10! Let's see if we can make 15 this time! LOL
Now on to the winner. There were lots I liked but my favorite this time was #1 Vikki! I love the sassy look her girl had and the colors were great.
So Vikki grab your Top Chef logo for your blog!

This weeks challenge started with a little comment from my daughter. She said "why don't you have cooking on your challenge?"
So the recipe for this challenge is:

1. An image of something that's been cooked or can be cooked;
2. Use some buttons;
3. Add a little something inside. This could be a decorated message mat, a pocket for a gift card or anything else you come up with.

Remember you can add to the recipe but I want those things as a minimum. You are free to combine with as many other challenges as you like. Please be sure to add a link back to this blog in your post and post the direct link to your post in Mr Linky.
Deadline for entries is Midnight on Wednesday 28th October.

Fall is the season for scrummy, yummy foods so my card for this challenge features my husband's favorite dessert, Pie!
For more details on how I made the card you can check out my personal card blog at Both Sides of the Paper





So please go and create something yummy for me and come back and share with us all!
Pop your link into Mr Linky and I'll come around and look at them all!



Thanks and I look forward to seeing all your fabulous work!

Update that you'll love!

I wanted to let you know that I've added a Mr Linky to this blog so it's easier for you to add your links and for you to see everyone else's creation.
I've added in the ones who already joined in so we can all see them!
Have a great weekend and remember tomorrow is World Card Making Day and if your day allows for some creating I'd love it if you could include my challenge in your plans.
Thanks again for your support!

Winner of Challenge 1 and time for Challenge 2!

Happy Thursday and Happy October 1st!
I'm so glad so many of you checked out the challenge and that some of you actually entered! I looked at them all and my favorite this week is Debs! so please grab your "Top Chef" logo and add it to your blog!

Now on to the next challenge and the recipe this time is "Use Metal, A Border Punch and make the image be of something Alive!"

To give you some ideas for metal you could include brads, eyelets, bookplate, metal tags, clips, anything that has metal!
Any border punch is fine, and I'm sure you have plenty of those to chose from!
And the "alive" means you can use an image of an animal, a person, a flower, anything as long as it lives and breathes! LOL

Todays card covers lots of other challenges too and if you'd like to see the others check my personal blog



The fabulous image is from Pink Petticoat and I colored her with Copic's and added Diamond Stickles to her flowers.
The dp are DCWV and K@Co and the flowers are Prima.





So go and create and come back and add your link to Mr Linky and I'll be around to see them all!
The deadline for this challenge is October 14th.
