Dear Santa Week 4 Day 1



November 25, 2013

Happy Monday Crafters! This week we are bringing you inspiration (and prizes) in the form of Quickies. We all know sometimes you need to make something cute in 2.5 seconds for that baby shower/wedding/birthday you have known about for the last two months but just never got around to 🙂
Don’t worry we have some solutions for you in all forms!
Linda Trace 
First Up is the lovely Linda Trace. Isn’ this just so cute and colorful?!  How could you not be merry! We would like to thank Lawn Fawn for Linda’s goodies. 
Kelly Rasmussen
This adorable Post Card is from one of our special guest designers today Kelly Rasmussen! Kelly had mentioned she thought it would be cute as a framed picture as well. I completely agree! Simple but elegant, perfect 🙂 We would like to thank Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp for Kelly’s goodies. 
Cristina Martinez
Cristina’s card is just so adorable! You know how I love bright colors with black then you throw in a heart and I *swoon * Super easy too! We would like to thank  Lawn Fawn, Neat and Tangled, and Hero Arts for Cristina’s goodies. 

 Michelle Liimatainen (refrigerator magnets)
Michelle Liimatainen (gift card holder)

Oh my goodness Michelle! I can’t believe all the cute little magnets she was able to make! Talk about having the most adorable refrigerator ever! Not to mention that sweet gift card holder! Beautifully festive. We would like to thank Avery Elle, Lawn Fawn and Hero Arts for Michelle’s goodies.

Here’s my contribution.  I decided to make a quick little card set. It’s super easy with a sweet set of dies, gorgeous stamps and awesome inks. I’d like to thank Hero Arts, Neat and Tangled, Cas-ual Fridays, Kelly Purkey, and Lawn Fawn for my goodies.

Wanda Guess

Last but not least our second guest designer of the day Wanda Guess! How beautiful is this festive card? I absolutely adore how soft the background is. It makes those Laurels really pop! We’d like to thank Avery Elle and Hero Arts for Wanda’s goodies. 

Now that we have looked at all that yummy goodness (please go visit the girls blogs if you have a minute. It means so much to us!) let’s talk prizes. We will be giving away:

$25 Gift Certificate from Avery Elle, $20 Gift Certificate from Lawn Fawn , Simon Says Stamp is  offering a big 6×8 sampler set and last but not least Hero Arts will be giving away a prize pack from their 2014 catalogue! 
You don’t want to miss a chance to win these goodies so make sure you comment on **this post** for your chance to win. Thanks for stopping by to visit us! We hope you found tons of inspiration!
