The "Outdoor Decor" Challenge

Happy Holidays all! We are back with a super fun challenge. This one is all about how you decorate outside of your homes for the holidays!

Scrap outside of the house... whether it be your outside decorations, how your town celebrates/decorates, or a favorite place you have visited for the holidays. I have even seen many cars around town decorated, either with a wreath, or decked out with horns and a red nose. We often scrap about our kids, traditions, ornaments, inside decorations... so let's go outside for this one!

This runs from today through Dec. 31st, and I will be choosing a winner for a $20 GC to the shop!! So be sure to get your LO's linked up in the comments section so I can find it!

Here are the beautiful DT examples!

Also, The new "Very Virginia" kit is up for sale! Head over to the store and check it out! Happy Holidays Everyone!

WINNER!

First off I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who played along in the challenge! I hope you all had fun and love the creations you made, they are all super special and lovely! This was so hard to pick a winner, since they are all so touching, that I had my son Nick pick a winner out of a bowl...and our lucky winner is ASHLY!!! Ashly, you will be getting the 2 Bedford Falls kits shipped out to you on Monday...please send me your mailing address and they will be on the way! Congratulations!



Tomorrow the January kit goes up for order! Very Virginia is named after our very own Virginia Tillery for a few reasons. First off, these are some of her favorite styles, colors, textures and products. Secondly, she will be offering a companion class to this kit in mid January. So you can sign up and learn to scrap like the awesome Miss V! We have been doing sneaks over at the MB all week, but here is a collage of some of my favorites!



And TOMORROW ONLY we are having a REALLY BIG DEAL over at the store! 5 lucky orders will have a random gift in their box! There are paper packs from MME, Cosmo, OA, 1 paid admission to Virginia's companion class...PLUS a copy of Adobe Illustrator. Who will have a gift in their box?? It very well could be you! So get your order in early!

Also!!! If you order 2 kits, or spend over $100 you will also be receiving 2 packs of American Crafts Thickers for free(that is like $10 girls)...so as I say, this could be a VERY full box for some of you! :D :D :D :D And don't forget...EVERYTHING (except the kits) is on sale!

Set your alarms for tomorrow ladies! :)

"The Gift" Challenge

Tis' the season friends! I thought it would be really fun to start this month off, not only with a fun challenge, but also with a fun prize...or two! So let's get started.
First up, the challenge. This is "The Gift" challenge. We want you to scrap about an all time favorite gift you, or a loved one, received and why it was so dear. You can either scrap an actual wrapped gift, something Santa brought, something you gifted yourself. Or you can go the route of a gift of another sort...meaning a lesson learned, learning a skill (maybe music lessons), or your grandmother passing down her love of sewing. You get the idea. It is your layout and your "gift" to scrap as you like.
This is running from today through Dec. 17th. Please be sure to leave your links in the comments section here...and believe me you will want to....because I am not offering one Bedford Falls kit as a prize, but TWO! I thought that since this is the season for giving I would give you a kit for yourself and a kit for you to give to one of your scrappy buddies!! Or, if you have already purchased the kit then you will have 2 gifts to give! :)



The rules are pretty simple 1) Leave a link to your challenge LO featuring your favorite gift. 2) Give a shout out on your blog, or facebook, about the challenge and prize up for grabs! Simple and fun. I will choose one winner from all the entries, and get your prize out to you by the 18th so you have it in time for the holidays!
Here are the design team creations, and boy are they great! Most were done with the Bedford Falls kit.

I hope you enjoy this challenge! I think this is a fun prompt for the holiday season, and I can't wait to see what you all create!
Have fun!!
