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
