OCC Challenge - Christmas in August

Hello OCC friends!! Thanks to all who played in last week's inspiration challenge, your samples were amazing and we love it when you play along with us!!

Last week we announced we are looking for a few girls to join the OCC Design Team. If you are interested in a spot, please leave your name HERE and include DT after your name. You will have until August 20th to apply, we then will announce the NEW DT September 1st.

This week our August hostess, Loretta Lock, has challenged the OCC to Christmas in August. With Christmas right around the corner it’s time to warm up those holiday stamps.

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. Remember, there are no time limits to our challenges. Feel free to play along whenever you're able. If you upload to SCS, use keyword: OCCC

Now let's check out the samples from the OCC...

Another great challenge, ladies! Thanks for the peek at your beautiful DT samples. I wasn't ready to make a Christmas card, but I ended up really enjoying making this one so thanks for the jump start!
