Our first ever Online Crop is in full swing!

As we promised a few days ago, we have another great challenge for you today to continue with our first ever Online Crop! If you missed our first challenge by Lisa, please click HERE to take you to play a great game of Bingo. Today's crop challenge is based on one of the oldest holiday baking traditions, fruit cake! Whether you have a love or hate relationship with fruitcake, we are sure to help you love it a little more with your crafting! Please create a brand new layout, card or altered item based on the Holiday Fruitcake Recipe Challenge below.

Holiday Fruitcake Recipe Challenge 
(Pick 4 ingredients for your layout):

Red and green candied cherries – choose the color red or green 

Candied pineapple – choose the color yellow or gold

Walnuts – use wood veneers or woodgrain papers, etc.

Raisins – use something sweet (the word Sweet, food related items or photos, etc.)

Sugar – use sprinkles of round embellishments in any color (brads, buttons, confetti, etc)

Eggs – use some form of ribbon as a binding agent

Vanilla – use any type of liquid medium (can be ice or snow related photos, spritz, paints, etc)

Flour - Use any white embellishment (clouds, flowers, doilies, snowflakes, etc.) 

And here is my example:

 

I went simple and still used 5 of the ingredients! I used red cherries (color red), candied pineapple (color yellow), walnuts (wood venners), sugar (round confetti), and eggs (ribbon trim).  I can't wait to see what you create! :)
