**Tim Holtz Challenges: NOVEMBER ATC CHALLENGE**

This is the NOVEMBER ATC Challenge of the Month and requires you to make an ATC card (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") with a NOVEMBER theme such as fall foliage; mums and homecoming football games; raking leaves, rolling and falling in piles of leaves; harvesting of pumpkins and gourds, apples, squash, and greens such as kale, lettuce, spinach, cauliflower, and broccoli, thankful for harvests, baking and cooking with these harvest products. Gratefulness for the abundance we have--most of us-- appreciations for that abundance, depictions of children helping make Grandma's apple or pumpkin pies, etc.

Additionally, you need to USE at LEAST 3 OFFICIAL Tim Holtz products--paper, stamps, stencils, die cuts, Distress inks, Distress Crayons, Distress Oxide inks, metal ephemera, paper ephemera, etc.

Challenge yourself here if you have some products that are new to you. Check out "how-to" videos on YouTube and on Tim's blog for ways of using those products! . Avoid stickers almost completely or use only Tim Holtz ones (won’t find many)! His style doesn’t really lend itself to much use of stickers.

To receive a 5 rating, you must have: (1) the correct size ATC, (2) a theme that fits NOVEMBER, (3) the name of the month on the ATC, (4) Three or more required Tim Holtz products or techniques with those products. If you receive an ATC that meets these requirements, you need to rate a 5. Adding a heart is up to you!

You may want to point out the 3 (or more) Tim Holtz items or techniques you used in your note to your partner. I like to have a short note from my sending-to-me partner--just a few lines about the swap and something that helps your partner get to know you better. That's where you can point out all of the products/techniques you put into into use so your partner knows for certain.

**Deadline for joining swap is NOVEMBER 12.

Sending deadline is NOVEMBER 30.**

Most importantly, have fun making these ATCs! Experiment with new products if that's a possibility for you! Check for Tim Holtz ATC Ideas on Pinterest to jump-start your creativity and get started with what you want to do for this month. Or find some of his how-to videos on You Tube.
