October Rolodex Challenge

Post by Jan Mosier »

Image

Welcome to our first Monthly Rolodex Challenge. Starting this month we will have a challenge on the first Tuesday of every month. You don't need a rolodex or a rolodex card to participate in this challenge. A standard rolodex card is 2 inches by 4 inches. You can easily make your own from patterned paper or cardstock. Afterwards, you can store them in a rolodex if you have one, a recipe box or use them on a layout. Anyone can participate.

I don't know about you, but I have several bins of scraps, as well as punches, stamps and dies that need to be used more often. If you're in the same boat as me, then I'm hoping these challenges will inspire you to do just that.

With all that being said, are you ready for your first challenge? Yes? Okay, the prompt for October is of course, Halloween! Your challenge this month is to create a Halloween rolodex card.

For my rolodex card I used scraps, as well as 2 dies that I haven't used in quite some time, the Spellbinders Labels Eight Nestabilities dies to create my card and a Tim Holtz Paper Rosette die to create the rosette.

The one I have is like the one on top. The one I’m looking for is the type like the bottom one, but black.

The bottom one is my favorite because I can make the cards a little taller. I hope I will run across another fairly cheap.
