I know that some here have been a bit overwhelmed by two of my challenges. grammadee, who is the author and moderator of CARDtober, is allowing me to post an additional challenge as an alternative. This brings the challenges to 32. If you accomplish 31 challenges, you still get that 50 point completion bonus. You do not have to do the Alternative Challenge. If you do all 32, you get an additional 5 points in addition to whatever points your Alternative CARDtober Challenge card earns. You can use the Alternate Challenge only once, in place of one of the 31 CARDtober challenges. So I am offering a "Pick Your Challenge" Alternative challenge, where you can choose from one of the following options--just be sure to post a photo of your card, and tell us which of these challenges you did: Option 1: Make a card for your favorite holiday, whether it is Valentine's, Easter, Christmas, or whatever. It can be totally out of season. Use any tools or embellishments. Option 2: Make a card with a stamp/stamp set, die/die set, or product that you have bought in the last year but have never used. Option 3: Make a birthday card. No restrictions or requirements. Birthday cards are just handy to have ready to send. Option 4: Fashionista Challenge. Make a card related to fashion in some way. This is the one I am choosing, and here is my card: Twist: make at least one duplicate of your Alternate CARDtober challenge card, for an additional point for each duplicate card. I actually made multiples of this one because it was so easy and fun, so I am posting a picture of them all for an extra 7 points, since I made 7 duplicates of the original (for a total of 8 cards).

I have a card group that meets each month to make cards. Usually I design the projects. This was one I did as a possible card for our group to make and decided it would involve a little too much prep work for me, but it uses the same stamped phrase/print and cut shoes, so I figured I would post it here. I did make it this month.

scrapnnana, your Halloween cards are wonderful. I love that spider web and the quote about the shoes is delighful. Love those shoes. Are they a print and cut or did you color them? Adorable. Linda, wow, have you ever been busy. I love all your cards. This Cardtober has taught me to use all those cut aparts like you have. What a great way to do a card quickly and have it look wonderfully handmade. Great job on so many ideas. I chose option 1. Make a favorite Holiday card and use whatever you want. I used my Silhouette (which is used daily for something!) and whipped up a couple of simple cards last night. Thanks, scrapnnana, for the challenge. Christmas balls

nylene - those simple cards look anything but simple with the pretty embossed background and the detailed ornament with the sentiment

The shoes were a print and cut.
Linda and nylene, your cards are great! I’m glad you liked having an alternative challenge.
