It's the HOLIDAYS Challenge #59

Happy Holidays everyone. I hope this is finding you all well. I do want to start out by sending up a prayer to the victims, families, and survivors of the recent shooting events at Clackamas Town Center Mall in Oregon (half an hour from where I live) and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

This week I am here to share with you our final challenge of the year. It will last until January 3rd. The challenge will be:
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Show me Christmas or New Year related cards.

We have an AWESOME sponsor for our final  challenge. Tiddly Inks Digital & Clear Stamps

Tiddly Inks offers digital stamps and digital papers, created by Christy Croll. Christy is a self-trained illustrator who likes simple, cute and quirky drawings with a sense of humor. She draws what amuses her, which means some days it is quirky and cute and other days it is a bit of a twisted gothic feel. 

They are offering a $10 Gift Certificate to the random winner of this challenge. Now that is a prize worth playing for. 

Here are our amazing Design Team samples to get your mojo flowing! Sadly this will be the final challenge for a couple of them. LETS SAY GOODBYE TO SHANNON AND EVELINA

                                                                   Eva

                                                              Penny 

 

                                                                Shannon

                                                                 Shary

                                                               Susan

Super cute cards right?  Want to show us what you got?  Then link up below to be entered in our challenge! Also don't forget to come back next Friday when the inspiration girls will dazzle you with their  creations. 

ALSO COME BACK MONDAY FOR A DT CALL 

Thanksgiving/Thanks Winner & Silver/Gold Inspiration

Happy Friday, Mamas! THANK YOU for entering our previous challenge! There were so many different styles and designs, holiday cards & 'thank you's, traditional fall colors and interesting combos. That's what makes these challenges so much fun!

Did you know... At the end of every challenge, a random draw is done from all the qualifying participants. Beginners and seasoned cardmakers alike have an equal chance of winning the sponsored prize. How awesome is that?!

The TOP 3 are chosen by the Design Team. Want to be considered for the TOP 3 recognition? Be thoughtful in your CARD design - layout, colors, embellishments - and take good pictures! Consider lighting, the angle of the camera, etc. We want your creation to look good here, too!

Okay, it's (finally!) time to announce the winners of our THANKSGIVING/THANK YOU challenge! 

First up is our random draw for the Mystery $$ Prize from Digi My World!
