2010 Christmas Card Challenge Week #47

Hi everyone!

Wow, what fabulous cards we had submitted last week!  We've really enjoyed visiting your blogs, and being so inspired by you.  Thank you to everyone who participated!  This week we have an easy challenge for you.  The challenge this week is to include flowers on your Christmas cards.  See, easy!  Please keep in mind that the challenge each week is optional.  The idea is to help you get your Christmas cards done ahead of time so you're not rushing at the last minute. 

This week we have another wonderful designer, Candace Mitchell.  Here is a bit about her, in her own words.

I'm Candace Mitchell. I'm a 20-something, very blessed girl from South Mississippi. I love spending time with my family and my fiance. I teach 8th grade English in my hometown, and I love working with kids. In my spare time, I love to do paper-crafting. I started out scrapbooking in May 2007 and then the card-making bug hit me about a year later. I've been in love with it ever since. I am so excited be guest designing for Christmas Card Challenges this week, as Christmas truly is my favorite time of year!

Here is her card.  Isn't it adorable?!

And here are the rest of the design team cards this week.

2010 Christmas Card Challenge Week #46

Good morning.  Alanna here bringing you this week's challenge which is a recipe challenge with a twist:  Use 2 designer papers, 1 stamp, and bling.  The twist:  add a butterfly somewhere.

I'm also SUPER excited to introduce you to this week's guest designer, who really needs no introduction, Dawn McVey.  If for some reason, you've been under a crafting rock and haven't checked out her blog, RUN NOW.  You are going to love what you see, that's for sure.  She's super talented and PTI is very lucky to have her as a designer.


Here's what Dawn has to say.

Hi there! My name is Dawn McVey and I've been stamping for several years now. I got started in paper-crafting by making cards that friends and family eventually started asking to purchase from me. After a couple of years, I had sold over 2,000 cards! I was also a Stampin' Up! (hobby) demonstrator for several years, which is where I acquired my love of stamping.


I enjoy making cards, scrapbooking and making various other paper crafted projects, however card-making is my first love. In the fall of 2007, I started submitting my work to magazines and have currently had over 175 projects accepted for publication.


In July of 2008 I accepted a position on the Design Team for Papertrey Ink and in February of 2009, I became a Stamp Designer for Papertrey as well. I am thoroughly enjoying working with such a creative and innovative company and have been so excited to continue to expand my Raspberry Suite product line with them!


God has blessed me with a wonderful husband that encourages me to follow my dreams! We love traveling and spending as much time together as we can. It's a wonderful life and I'm so, so thankful.

And here is her gorgeous card.

And here are the rest of the design teams cards.
