Challenge #294

Hello!
I hope you have been enjoying our "getting ready for the holidays month".  I know our team has.
This is the second last challenge for this theme (technically it is the last Tuesday of the month, but we will end with a blog hop next Tuesday - just to put the icing on the cake!

Just like last week, there is no photo - I have to remember to take more Christmas photos this year.

So on to the top cards for last week.  Here they are, in random order:

DeAnn - From Facebook

Margreet

Leigh

Maria

Beautiful cards, ladies!  Congratulations !  And thank you so much to everyone who participated.

Now for our challenge this week.   Challenge #294 is yet another beautiful sketch from Kaylin and has the optiona technique: Paper Piercing.

And here are the samples from the talented ladies on the team:

Vicki

Donna

Kaylin

LeAnne

Lori

I am 100% sure these cards will inspire you to create a special holiday card of your own and I cannot wait to see what you make.  Remember, you have two weeks to enter and you can enter here or on the Facebook page.  Happy creating, all.

p.s.  Check out our facebook page tomorrow as there will be one more contest (a bit different this time).

Take care, all!

Challenge #293

Hi. everyone!  Glad you are here.
I hope you are enjoying our "pre-holiday" extravaganza.  I noticed participation is down - but maybe everyone is just plain busy. At least, I hope that is the case.  Remember, you do not have to enter a holiday card, we are just doing this to jump start everyone on their Christmas plans.

We are skipping the photo section of our post - I simply have no new winter photos and do not want to bore you with an old repeat.  In fact, I am thinking of eliminating that segment of our weekly post.

On to the top cards from challenge #291.  Here they, in no particular order:

Brenda (from Facebook)

Heather

Di

Congratulations on the great cards, ladies!  Thanks to all who [played along.

Our challenge this week has an optional technique: a touch of fabric.  Use it or not - it is up to you.

This fun sketch is again courtesy of Kaylin.

Here are the examples from the talented team:

Wow!  Great examples.  I so want to thank our dedicated team for all the effort they put into this blog.  I am grateful for all they do ---and I am sure you all are as well!

As always, this challenge runs for two weeks and you can enter below or on our Facebook page.  Happy creating, all!
