Challenge #20

Hello crafters! It's Amber here today. Here in the US we will be celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday. And we are so thankful for all the entries we had in our last "Thanks" challenge!

 

So not only is Thanksgiving a time to reflect on what we are thankful for and to spend time with family, but it is also the last day before the Christmas season begins!

 

And on that note our challenge this time is for you to create something Christmas or winter themed!

 

Here is my card:

 

 

Charissa has created a December Daily album and here is her cover and an inside page:

Charity has this fun Snow Day layout and I love the non-traditional colors she chose: 

Erica has this pair of fun and wonderful cards:



 Heather made a really cute Christmas card. I love the way the shapes take the focus here:

Judy also made a fantastic December Daily album. Here is the cover and an inside page:

 

Kristy made this wonderful layout. Look at those huge snowflakes:



Kyla has this cute and whimsical card:

And Sheryl made this layout about herself as a child. I love it!

Speaking of oohing and aahing...how about these great projects from the DT!!!

 

First up is a great trio of cards by Charissa
love the variety of shapes and of course all the greens.

Judy put together this page,

doesn't she have beautiful children?

Didn't I ask for simple? These adorable Mickey cards pack a punch with out being fussy! So love this project by Kyla.

Kristina put this wonderful layout together to show her appreciation of that amazing Scrap Diva, Kristy Lee.

Up next we have a pair of gorgeous cards by Erica. Her stamping abilities really are something else!!!

...and isn't her ribbon just perfect on this one!!!

This beautiful banner by Amber is just the right thing to get us into the right frame of mind to "Give Thanks."

Heather stole a march on the squirrels and embellished her card with sweet little acorns.

I decided to express my gratitude to my sister for the amazing job she does, parenting her little ones. (Charity)
