SDC263 - Christmas

Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog. We will be taking a short break over the Christmas Holiday, in order for our design team to spend some much needed time with their families and friends. 

Although we are taking a break we are going to have this challenge run through the first challenge in January, which is Jan 4th. 

Our theme is Christmas!!!

We invite you to upload your Christmas themed projects anytime between now and Jan 3rd.

 This week is full of inspiration, we have invited the entire team to show their Christmas creations in this post, please take your time and check out each and every one of these fabulous creations.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:

Please read ALL RULES on the linkz page  before linking your creation.

The top 3 this week was chosen by Jo and her picks are:
1. Anja- I liked seeing the distance created using the blues and the play on words. 
2. Taras  background technique was interesting using the fluffy paste(I bet its even more fabulous in real life)
3. Wendylynn at Paperwhims - good use of bold contrasting colour- the tag maybe small but it has big impact.

(congrats everyone, please email Claudine at

The ATC swap is taking a break through Christmas so we hope you will join us in Januaury again for this fun swap. Until then check out our Facebook page and all the wonderful inspiration there. We also have a lot of inspiration on our Pinterest page.
