Crazy4Challenges Week 15 -- Theme Card --Snowmen and/or Snowflakes

Welcome to Week 15 of the C4C challenges. This week we are going to play with SNOW!!! Getting in the winter/holiday spirit, we are going to make cards (or other creations) with snowmen and/or snowflakes. For those of you still working on holiday cards, this will give you the chance to add another to your 'stash'. For those of you who have finished the holiday cards, this could be thank you cards, winter birthday cards, gift containers for any occasion, or, if you are truly ambitious, you could start on next year's stash. No matter what you make, it must involve snowflakes and/or snowmen.

Crazy4Challenges Week 14 - Gift Card Holders

Hi!

I am so very excited to be your hostess this month for the C4C Challenges. I am still pinching myself.....wondering if it really is true that I am playing on this team with all these fabulous stampers!!!

For this week, I thought we could have some fun while, at the same time, making something practical. In this season of giving, gift cards are popular to give and receive. Your challenge this week is to create a gift card holder of any design. Just have fun in the presentation!!! No pressure...just have fun!!! It could be a version of a card, a packaging design, a 'purse', a holiday ornament gift card holder!! Whatever suits your fancy or need is what you should 'play' with.....and, no, it does not have to be holiday related. It could be for any occasion!!! That is one of the great things about this team. We want your creative juices to flow freely, not confined!!!!

Our sponsor this month is........

Being the first Challenge of the Month, this is our Prize Challenge. One lucky person will win the Butterfly Wishes set which was designed in collaboration between The Greeting Farm and our very own Jessica Diedrich. The winner will be announced next week when we post our new challenge.


We are all looking forward to your creations. We are a team of stampers who 'play well with others' and that would be YOU!!!!!

After creating your gift card holder, be sure to come back here and sign in with Mr. Linky. Doing so could make you eligible for a prize this week!!! When uploading to Splitcoast, please use the Keyword C4C14 so that we can all gaze upon your creations!


Your delighted hostess,
Joanne
