THE CHALLENGE

Looking at the title of this post, is the Green Acres (classic T.V.) theme song running through your head now? Good! Keep it there while you make your creation for this week. We want to see your Country creations. They can include gingham ribbon or papers, a farm image, farm animals, fields of green or anything that says "Farm or Country" to you!

THE TWIST

Include "grass" somewhere on your project. (this can be machine cut, hand cut card stock, stickers, drawn, etc....just show me some grass)

Come on! Get your Country on!!!

* I have a bit of sad news this week. :( *
One of our great DT members AnnMarie Bryant has decided it is time for her to move on. I am SOOOOOOO sad. AnnMarie holds a very special place in my heart. I love her style and I have been online friends with her for a couple years now. She will still be crafting and I wish her all the best! I hope she will come back for a Twisted Guest appearance every now and then though :)

We love you and will miss you AM! :)

Thanks to all who participated last week!

A little something special this week....
Our winner chosen by the lovely AnnMarie Bryant is:

#33 ~ Claire C

Our top 3 picks are:

#5 ~ Tracy M.
#14 ~ Sonia

#22 ~ kavitha

Here's this week's challenge:

THE CHALLENGE

Let's get back to basics! This week, you can't use your Big Shot or your Cricut (no machines) or your paper punches....that's right! NO TOOLS. Let's try and remember how we first crafted all those years ago. :)
I've had some questions about this challenge. Here's some clarifications:
Yes, your paper trimmer is an exception. You may use your paper trimmer :)
I'm only talking about mechanical things such as a Cuttlebug, Cricut, Big Shot, Paper Punches and the like. You MAY use any stamps, embellishments you like. Just try not to use "machines" to help you create with this challenge. Thank you for the question! :)

THE TWIST

This week's challenge is so challenging.....there's no Twist! Yep! I'm going soft......no crafty Twist this week!!!! Enjoy!

Here's some beautiful basics our Design Team came up with:
