2010 Christmas Card Challenge Week #34

Happy Sunday! It's Shanna bringing you this week's challenge.....Sparkle would like us to use a Wreath somewhere on our cards.

Our guest designer this week is Moriah. Here is what she has to say:

My name is Moriah Macdonald, better known as Fuzzy Slippers because I often craft in my pj's and slippers! I live in the midst the apple orchards and farmland part of Massachusetts with my fantastic (seriously I got lucky here and I know it) husband, my cardigan corgi Cadfael, and my foster tabby Amy.I've been crafting all my life and come from a long line of creative men and women (carpenters, seamstress', painters, knitters, you get the picture). Initially, most of my crafting was self preservation. In my family you needed to look busy or someone would give you something to do! As a result I have been lucky enough to try my hand and lots of different crafts that most folks associate with their grandparents (like tatting), but when I found paper crafting I was totally hooked.

And here is her lovely card:

And here is what the rest of the DT came up with:

2010 Christmas Card Challenge Week #33

Good morning to you.  It's Alanna here bringing you this week's challenge.  This week's optional challenge is an inspiration one and we'd like to see what you do with this photo.  Remember that the only real rule is that you create a Christmas/holiday card. 

We'd also like to welcome Hazel as our guest designer for this week. 

Hazel - Guest Designer

As a child I also loved anything to do with paper and loved drawing (but not painting) - did a lot of sketching when I was at secondary school - loved doing portraits, still life etc. I loved doing anything that required cutting, sticking ...

At some point in my adult life I discovered cross stitch - for quite a while I said I'd never do it because I preferred embroidery, but once I started I was hooked on it, but I can't do it now because of physical difficulties.

Cross stitching is how I got into cardmaking, then started to produce cards on the computer and then cardmaking itself about ten years ago. I love all sorts of techniques, including stamping.

Over the past three years or so I've dabbled in scrapbooking, but still consider myself a novice – I also like making, altering and decorating notebooks, mini albums, tins and boxes etc.
