The Giving Season

Welcome to Our Creative Corner! Thanks to everyone who played along in our sketch challenge. Before we get to today's challenge, we'd like to announce the winner of last week's prize drawing. The Elegant Christmas and Fairy Christmas sets from The Cat's Pajamas go to... Suzanne Dean ! Congratulations Suzanne, please email us your address so we can get your prize on its way!

'Tis the season for gift giving, and so this week's challenge is to make a gift card holder. There's all sorts of fabulous gift card holder ideas floating around in all shapes and sizes, and there's nothing like a little handcrafted holder to make the recipient feel extra special. Feel free to make any type of gift holder you want, but if you'd like a jumping off point, this week's guest designer, Tori Wild, has a simple little gift card holder template on her blog.

Remember there is no time limit on our challenges - feel free to participate whenever you are able. To play along, upload your creation to your blog or gallery, then leave us a comment linking to your project so we can check it out. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: OCCC

Before we show you the OCC designers' samples, take a peek at Tori's adorable gift card holder. Isn't it just the cutest? Thanks so much for joining us this week, Tori!!
