2010 Christmas Card Challenge Week #38

Hello and thank you for stopping by! Shanna here bringing you this week's challenge which is Vintage/Retro. This challenge is right up my alley, hope you have some fun with it too!

This week's guest designer is Stephanie Kraft:

I am a stay at home mom to one sweet & sassy 7-year-old girl and wife to a very supportive (and tolerant of my stamping hobby/obsession) husband of 10 years. I started as a scrapbooker and discovered stamping about 5 years ago. I created a blog in September 2008 with the thought that it would motivate me to create artwork more regularly (instead of spending all of my time surfing crafty blogs!). Since then, I rarely go a day without stamping something. I am still a scrapbooker at heart, but right now my passion is making cards and handmade gifts. I also love photography, cooking and spending time with friends and family.

And here is her stunning card....

Here are the cards from the rest of the design team:

2010 Christmas Card Challenge Week #37

Good morning.  It's Alanna here bringing you our challenge this week.  Thanks so much for joining us this week at Sparkle Creations Christmas Card Challenges.  Our challenge this week is to break our your border punches.  They add such a nice aspect to our cards, don't you think?  I'm also happy to introduce our guest designer this week, Danielle.

Here's what Danielle has to say. 

I am Mom to 2 beautiful girls, ages 5 and 7. I have been married for 9 years to my hubby, but we've been together for 16 years. I started scrapbooking after my second daughter was born, although I spent lots of time in college knitting and doing cross stitch. I migrated to cards because I like to be able to see a finished product quickly, and on a good run I can whip out more than one card in an evening.

And here's her gorgeous card.

And here's the rest of the team's wondeful creations using border punches.
