Home for the Holidays Winner

Hi All, its Sharon, I hope that all of you have had a wonderful holiday spent with family and friends.  I am here to announce our Top Talent Award Winner from our Home for the Holidays challenge.  I'd like to thank all of those who have played along in our challenge.  We all understand that that time of year can be especially busy. We had 23 participants in the Home for the Holidays challenge, and they were all wonderful to see!   Our Top Talent Award goes to #18 Marie O, of Ink'd Wings.

We were all impressed with the level of detail on Marie's card.  And her iris folding is quite beautiful!  Marie gives a wonderfully detailed explanation on her blog as to what products and techniques she used to create this master piece.  So Marie, make sure that you grab the Our Creative Corner Top Talent badge and thank you for sharing such a beautiful card with all of us.

We hope all of you enjoyed a safe and joyous holiday season, and please play along with us for more challenges.  There is still time left to submit an entry to our Bright and Happy New Year challenge, here.

Home for the Holiday

Hello fellow stampers! It's Sharon W. of Designs by Sharon, here hosting this week's challenge. I know that Christmas is tomorrow, and I hope you each have a joyous and safe holiday! If you get a chance to paper craft, I hope that you play along with us!

For this week's challenge, we would like you to use the scene in your own home for your inspiration. You can use the decorations on your Christmas tree, a center piece from your dining room table, the winter wonderland seen from your front door, or the wreath on your front door. Whatever your inspiration, please share that with us, in your paper craft item. You can create a card, a layout, a 3-D item, an altered item; whatever your paper crafting heart desires. The only requirement - show us some glimmer/sparkle!
