Challenge 145

First of all we would like to apologize for the late announcement of November's winners.  We do promise - they are coming however, our sponsor coordinator has been down and out with the flu and we need to give her just a few more days to get back on her feet.  Get better soon Jenn!!

Crazy December is here I don't know about you all, but for me...  this month is already flying by...  today marks just two weeks until Christmas Eve.  How are all of your preparations going?  Are you one of the lucky ones that is all done and ready?  Not me!!

If you have a papercrafter in your life - make sure you check out our sponsors!!

Speaking of sponsors - Stamp and Create is our December sponsor!!  Make sure you hope over and grab some goodies!  Without our sponsors we can't give away prizes!!


On to this weeks challenge...  talented Colleen has once again provided a great sketch.  Now I'll be honest - I added this one to my challenge week because it presented such a fantastic page layout sketch.

Here it is....


Thanks again Colleen!!

Look what the design team did!!

Challenge 144 - Christmas - Anything Goes!

  Welcome back to a new month at the Critter Sketch Challenge Blog.  December brings such a wonderful time of year.  This week we would like to challenge you to show us something... anything... Christmas themed!

If you haven't finished your Christmas cards then this is the perfect excuse to put everything on the back burner and get motivated to finish them off.  Of course... it doesn't have to be Christmas cards - maybe a wreath, or gift tag, or box or....????  The sky's the limit - dig out your goodies and create!!

Here is what our talented design team came up with!
