It's that time of the week when I think about Christmas. It is time for a Christmas Stampin' All Year Long challenge. 

Our sponsor this week  is Bugaboo Digi Stamps - Yay!!!


One random participant will win...

The challenge this week is an inspiration photo:


I went with the stripes and colors, plus a cute Bugaboo image - Ava Christmas Candy Cane to arrive at this gift tag...

Sketch Time!

It is time for the 17th Your Next Stamp Challenge!

This week's challenge is a sketch!  So fun!

Here is my take using Ellie Loves Latte!


Remember, you are not required to use YNS' stamps, but you may just win some. Just think of the cuteness you will receive if you win a YNS prize pack!!! Check out the YNS blog for all the details.


Head on over to the YNS blog to check out the rest of the creations by my sweet teammates and link up your own project. You are also welcome to link your project to our SCS Forum and into the SCS gallery using the keyword YNSC17. If you use a YNS product then add the keywords YNS and yournextstamp.

The other challenge design team members and I can't wait to see what you create!!!

Smiles,
Julie

Now it is time for a secret...I cheated on this card and went with a precolored digi! I tweaked the colors just a bit, but what a time saver!

The layout for this one is based on the September SFYTT.
