~CHALLENGE 31...THANKFUL FOR THE CUTTING CAFE~

It's time for a new Craft Us Crazy Challenge. This challenge is a couple of days later than normal to give everyone time to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday. We hope you had a marvelous Thanksgiving - complete with family gatherings, good food, and even some ball games and shopping, if you so desired.

We all have so much to be thankful for, don't we? One of the things we are thankful for here at Craft Us Crazy is all of you! Thank you for particpating in the challenges! You really are amazing!




Our theme for Challenge 31 is GIVE THANKS/THANK YOU and/or INSPIRE US! If you choose to use the Inspire Us theme, please let us know who/what inspired you.


Another thing we are thankful for here at Craft Us Crazy is our great sponsors! The sponsor for this challenge is one of our favorites, The Cutting Cafe.




Here's some information about our GREAT sponsor:

The Cutting Cafe

Hello my name is Regina Easter. I have 4 wonderful children and an awesome supportive husband. I have for as long as I can remember loved all the aspects of creating things with paper and drawing. So it was only fitting that I decided to open up The Cutting Cafe' and I am loving every bit of this new venture. The Cutting Cafe' offers affordable Printable Stamps and Cutting Files. The Cutting Files which are basically just like templates are files that you Print out using your home printer, Cut, Assemble and then Embellish.....Very Easy.....The Cutting Files also come in the format where you can cut out the files using some of the latest Machine Cutters like the Pazzles Inspiration and Bosskut Gazelle. The Printable Stamps are just that, images that are sent to you through email that you print out using your home printer. After the images are printed out, you can just color them in like you would any other stamped imaged...One great thing about the Printable Stamps and Cutting Files is that you no longer have to worry about finding space to store all of your stamps....You can keep them all in a folder in your computer and use over and over again.

The Cutting Cafe is happy to award the winner her/his choice of any 3 Printable Stamp sets.
            
A Big THANK YOU to Regina for supplying images for our design team to work with if they so chose!
Now, let's see what the design team created.
