November Challenges Inspiration - Have You Played Yet?

Hello crafty peeps! Welcome to your mid-November challenge reminder and additional inspiration post. There are so many gorgeous projects in the linky this month, thank you so much for supporting our challenges and sharing your creations. As always, our design team have created new gorgeous projects for that little extra inspiration if you are struggling to find your crafty mojo. 

If you're new to our blog, please take a moment to become familiar with the challenge guidelines -- we would hate for anyone to be voted by the team as a winner or be randomly chosen as a top pick and then not qualify for the prize because they didn't follow the rules.
