Sankari's Challenge #23 - I'm dreaming of a White Christmas...



Hey Friends! This week's challenge is a fun one! It's Sankari of Sankari's Sunshine Corner turn to host our challenge! Yipee!


Sankari: Hi Everyone, I am so excited to be your hostess today! I was thinking how fun it would be to do a white holiday card! Of course its good to have some color and holiday cheer in your card - but it would be fun to do a card that is mostly white on white! So have fun with your White Christmas dreamin' cards! Can't wait to see everyone's creation!! Here's my take on it:

Maria's Freebie Challenge #22 - 06-22-09

One of the members asked if I could do a "free" day meaning a challenge where you can do whatever you want. Sounds good to me. LOL! Basically, the challenge is to just create a Christmas card. Simple enough, huh? For many of you, creating a Christmas card in June is a challenge in itself so this challenge is for you! Hope you'll play along this week.
If you want to play along, please post a comment with a link to your blog, SCS or PCP Photo, online photo, etc. so we can stop by and check out your beautiful card. Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

For those who want to follow a sketch, I'm providing a sketch for you to follow.

Debbie's Eyelet Challenge #21 - 06-15-09


Hi Friends!! Wow, we're on challenge #21~ amazing how time flies! It's Debbie of "The Paper Garden" turn to host our challenge! Whooohoo!

The challenge this week is to find a creative way to use eyelets on your card. There's no limit to the amount of eyelets you can use on your card. Just go for it and let your imagination run with it!! Be sure to have fun while you're at it!!


**Debbie here: I don't know about you, but when eyelets were the "big" thing I bought LOTS of them. I rarely use them now and thought this would be a great way to use up some of those eyelets that maybe you "just had to have in every color" like me. Ü**

If you need a sketch to help you out. . .here's a sketch you can follow but it's not the challenge. You know the routine. . .create your card, post it on your blog, SCS, PCP and comment on this post with the link to your card (blog, SCS, PCP or photo album). We can't wait to see your beautiful cards!!
