Starting the Holiday Season early with a FIFTH SUNDAY Challenge at Anything But a Card Challenges

Good Morning Everyone! It's the last weekend in November and this week brings Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. which ushers in the Holiday Season. The moon and stars have aligned to give us an EXTRA Sunday this month which messes up our 3 +1 system of challenges.

NEXT SUNDAY is a FIFTH SUNDAY! This is an oddity in the calendar that has happened numerous times in 2014... CLICK HERE to view March, CLICK HERE to view June; and CLICK HERE to view August.

Since it's a Fifth Sunday and also a holiday week we have added this fun MINI-Challenge today here at Anything But a Card Challenges and will RUN FOR TWO weeks!!! Are you ready to play and have some fun??!

The Fifth Sunday Challenge... "USE FIVE"!! Use the number 5 or five items, five colors, five words... what ever FIVE represents to you. For those who want to go a little more literal - here's the definition, too! Loads of inspiration could be had over at Wikipedia's page for 5 (number).

I'm participating in a Christmas tag swap and here are 5 of my Christmas tags. You know how you purchase Cricut Cartridges with the hopes and inspirations that it's a cartridge you can't live without - well, this is one of those cartridges. Come check out my blog at Her Craftiness and see how I made this and what I used.

Five inspired me this time to create a set of dimensional ATCs. My magical "Five" ATC set contains exactly five ATCs of course. Jump over to my BLOG to discover all techniques that I used to create these ATCs.

My 5 Ginger Dolls were abandoned and bedraggled in a box I took a peak into, while searching for something else. I'm into recycling so I decided to give the dolls, from a Christmas long ago, a Magic makeover. Christmas is going to be a very different celebration this year and this hanging just might delight our young visitors. There's makeover details on my BLOG.

I like to make giving gifts of money fun when possible. I created these "lolly" flower package embellishments for my most recent opportunity to give a gift of cash (rather than a gift card). Since I used $5 bills for my flowers, I am using it as my "5s" challenge this month at Anything But A Card Challenges! Stop by my BLOG for instructions.
