OCC Birthday Challenge

Hello OCC friends! Thanks to all who played in last week's Fall color challenge - you all are the best!!

This week's challenge, by August host Dawn Easton, is to make a birthday card. We can all use those, eh? (Cards, that is, not necessarily birthdays, LOL!) There's no time limit on our challenges. Please feel free to participate in any of our challenges at any time. To play along, just post your project to your blog or gallery, then include a link in the comments so we can check it out. If you upload to SCS, use keyword: OCCC.

OCC Challenge - Limited Supplies

Hello, and welcome back to Our Creative Corner! So if this is your first visit, then welcome, and thanks for stopping by! We'd like to thank all those who participated in last week's sketch challenge. You all amaze us each and every week!

This week's challenge, brought to us by our August host, Dawn Easton, is to create a project using NO designer paper and a maximum of FOUR layers. If you've been visiting us for a while, you might have noticed that some of us in this group like to go a little heavy on the layers, so if you also fall in that camp, we feel your pain, LOL! (That's why it's called a challenge, after all.) BUT, that said, don't you find you make some of your most favorite cards when you get out of your comfort zone? Here's to another week of out-of-this-world creations! We can't wait to see what you come up with!

To participate, post your project to your blog or gallery and then leave us a link in the comments section here, so we can come see your project. If you upload to SCS, use keyword: OCCC. Remember, there is no time limit. Feel free to participate whenever you are able.

Before we show you all the OCC samples, we welcome back Julee Tilman from Poetic Artistry and her gorgeous sample:

Ready to see what the OCC girls have put together?
