MyGrafico Monday - PIE Challenge

I know what you're thinking - PIE challenge? Well...here's what I was thinking when I came up with this week's challenge - this week is Thanksgiving and what will a lot of people be spending time on....cleaning the house, shopping for groceries, and making pie. Why couldn't I challenge everyone to make a PIE card as well....in other words, something on your card should represent the P, the I, and the E.

P could include paper, piercing, purple, etc.
I could include ivory, Icicle Stickles, ink, etc.
E could be embossing, eyelets, envelope, etc.


This week the design team used the Dotti set - which will go to one lucky participant.


And here's what I came up with for the challenge:

I took an empty Republic of Tea canister, covered it with dp, and created a wish jar. It can be filled with wishes for everyone and shared on Christmas Eve. I really like gifts that show your thoughtfulness not just your generosity, so this will be perfect. And for the PIE, well...here's what I did:

P - plaid, pattern paper
I - Icicle stickles, ink
E - Embossed Curves punch (by EK Success), embossing

Fun challenge, don't you think? You should give it a try - it might not taste as good as the real thing, but I bet it won't pack on any extra inches :) For more details on the challenge and to see what the other design team members came up with, head over to the MyGrafico Challenge Blog.

Paper - Real Red (SU!), green (scrap), dp - (DCWV)
