2010 Christmas Card Challenge Week #43

You guys are rockin' the Christmas cards! Thank you to all who were able to join us last week.  Your cards were beautiful!  This weeks challenge is Tags. You can use tags on your cards in general, or you can create tags for gifts or gift bags.  Please keep in mind that our challenges each week are optional. Any Christmas card is perfect for any of our challenges. The idea is to help get your Christmas cards done ahead of time. This way you won't be rushing at the end of the year to get them done.

This week we have another wonderful guest designer. Please help me welcome Jess Willison. Here is a bit about her.

I am a SAHM of two little farm kids in Southwestern Ontario. I began cardmaking innocently, after getting engaged and wanting to make my own wedding invitations. After 6 years, the innocent beginning has become an amazing hobby (or obsession), and I am so fortunate my hubby and kids support (or tolerate!) me!

I was so flattered to have been considered to be a Guest Designer for Sparkle’s Christmas Card Challenge. I have been playing along for a while, and just love that come Christmas time, my cards are already made! Thanks to Sparkle and her Design Team for all their inspiration!

Here is her beautiful card.

I love the image, and the sentiment is adorable.  Here is what our fabulous design team have come up with today.

Each week we get closer and closer to Christmas.  Just think of how stress free you'll be come December, knowing you're Christmas cards are done, or at least mostly done.  What a relief, right?  Hopefully, you'll be able to play along with us this week.  We love seeing everyone's cards!

2010 Christmas Card Challenge Week #42

Hi everyone!

We had another fantastic turn out for last weeks challenge! We appreciate everyone who joined us last week, and loved all of your inspiring Christmas cards.  This weeks challenge is Distressed Cards.  You can use any kind of distressing you want.  Please keep in mind that our challenges each week are optional. Any Christmas card is perfect for any of our challenges. The idea is to help get your Christmas cards done ahead of time.  This way you won't be rushing at the end of the year to get them done.

This week we have another wonderful guest designer.  Please help me welcome Jessica George.  Here is a bit about her.

My obsession with cardmaking began innocently enough about 4 years ago when my dear husband suggested I find a hobby; little did he know how this 'hobby' would grow! I'm blessed to have a wonderful family including three beautiful daughters who are (usually) tolerant of the space and time my hobby occupies.

I was very excited to be invited as a Guest Designer for Sparkle’s Christmas Card Challenges this week. I’ve played along as often as possible and have a stack of this year’s holiday cards to show for it! Thanks to Sparkle and her talented Design Team for the wonderful inspiration to encourage me to actually be ahead of the holiday rush in at least one area!!

Here is her beautiful card.

And here are the cards that the rest of the design team have created today.
