Hi everyone!  Happy Sunday!  Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

It's that time again over at Jaded Blossom for our monthly challenge!  We hope you will play along!

There is also an awesome sale going on the month of July!

The challenge for this month...

Christmas!!

As for the prize...

One lucky winner will get...

In order for you to be eligible to win, you must have a Jaded Blossom stamp somewhere on your project!

Here's what I came up with...

From Jaded Blossom I used a 1 x 8 Clear Bag, Treat Tag Die, Candy Charms & Banners and Christmas Candies.  SVG Cutting Files I used the Chibi Santa.  Berry Red twine from Trendy Twine.  Inks used were Tim Holtz Fired Brick and Memento Tuxedo Black and Bamboo Leaves.  The embossing folder comes from Sizzix and I'm sorry I don't know what the name of it is.  Papers are from my stash and Core'dinations.  Copic Sketch Marker in W00.  Stickles in Star Dust.

Be sure to visit Jaded Blossom to see the rest of the amazing inspiration and to play along.

Thanks for visiting!

Have a fabulous crafty day!

Happy Sunday!  Welcome to another Clean & Simple Sunday!

I first want to thank everyone for participating in the Valentine's theme challenge.  Everyone had such fabulous cards.

After going over the poll on how often you want a challenge and my current situation (that will come out in later days), I have decided to have an every other Sunday challenge until I get settled.  At that point in time, I will have a design team call and I will most likely move the challenge to another blog for itself rather than on my blog as you all know I have multiple posts on weekends.

First to announce the winner of last challenge...random.org did select...
