Frame It! Card Challenge

Click >HERE< for our badges winners from the Hello Summer, Goodbye Fall Card Challenge

Hello everyone! Wow! We must all love this time of the year. Our Fall/Autumn challenge entry numbers jumped off the charts for us! We are so excited and thrilled to have had so many join us for that challenge but now it's time for a new challenge and this time the theme is "Frame It!" Which means we want you to create a card that has a FRAME.  It can be a square frame, rectangle frame, oval frame, etc. as long as something is "framed" on the card. Your card can be any shape, any size as long as it is flat enough to fit in an envy for mailing.  To inspire you and to give you an idea of what we want to see, the Cards in Envy Designers have created these fabulous cards.  Please click on the blog name by each designers' name to visit their blog and for more details about their card and while there be sure to leave them some comment love so they know you stopped by.

That means we may have up to 10 In the Mailbox cards for a challenge.  We decided to go with this fun method as each Designer has their own unique style and preference.  Each chosen may grab one of our fun badges for their blog!
