Holiday Decor

Hello everyone I hope you are all getting in the holiday spirit. We have some exciting news at Scrappy Frogs. First, I would like to welcome our newest design team member, Karen Stark. You can see all of Karen's great work on her blog.

We also have a new sponsor- Gilli Stamps. Gilli stamps are a new brand of stamps being sold at www.stampingscrapping.com and www.anary.com. You can view the entire Gilli collection here. The winner of this challenge will receive a Gilli stamp!!

Now on to the challenge. We would love to see what kind of holiday/Christmas decor project you can make. It's always nice to use your own crafty creations for decoration, that way when people say " OH that's so cute, where did you get it?" you can have the satisfaction of saying, "I made it". Here are the decor creations our design team has come up with.

A Sketchy Challenge

Ok, who is ready for a sketch challenge? I love sketch challenges and although, I may never get my cards entered into a lot of them, I have a notebook that I save full of all the ones I have printed out so that I can go back to them whenever I'm stuck. This sketch comes to us from Stephanie and it had me a little stumped for while. Inklinkz and previous winnner information is at the bottom of this post.
