Celebrate Christmas at V's Sweet Ideas

As you may already know, I have had the honor of serving on the Design Team at V's Sweet Ideas for almost two years.  It's hard for me to believe that February will mark two years since I started designing for Vanessa and promoting ALL the wonderful products carried at V's Sweet Ideas.  If you haven't been there lately (or ever), I encourage you to check it out.  There are several brand new clear stamp sets that Vanessa designed, and they are AMAZING!  I'm so grateful to be part of this fun Design Team, and to work with such lovely and talented ladies.

OK everyone....in case you haven't guessed it yet, our theme for the December Challenge at V's Sweet Ideas is CHRISTMAS.  You can create ANY type of art pertaining to Christmas.  We would absolutely LOVE to have you play along, and who knows??!!!  YOU could be the lucky winner of the $10 Gift Certificate to V's Sweet Shoppe!  What a Christmas treat that would be.

 

I created my card using a piece of Simple Stories Handmade Holidays patterned paper (for the base), an a scrap (across) of red patterned October Afternoon paper  I machine stitched everything....as I usually do.  I added a little bag for tucking in a gift card.  I picked up that little envelope at a scrapbook store in Mesa, Arizona (so I don't remember the brand), but I placed a Pebbles rub-on at the bottom (Merry Christmas). I added a journaling card (December) and two stickers (No Peeking and Cheer & Joy) from the Simple Stories Handmade Holidays line.  I used several sweet little sequins from V's Sweet Ideas, and also added wool felt PTI die-cut holly leaves, jute and three painted and glittered jingle bells.

 

As I say all the time (because it's SO TRUE), we would really love to have you stop by and play along in our challenge this month.  And of course, I always encourage you to share your art in our weekly challenges at Word Art Wednesday as well.  God has given each of us wonderful gifts, and it's so nice to share those talents by playing along in challenges so that everyone can enjoy the art you create.  We hope to see you there!
