12th Quote of Christmas ~ Challenge

One of the things my friends have asked me to do was post the 12 Quotes of Christmas. I did this for a site I was a DT for last year and I have had some email requests to do it again this year. Unfortunately, I am no longer on the site but I will gladly post them here.

I will post 1 Christmas quote everyday for 12 days. Feel free to use any of them on a card or layout. If you do, please email your creation at thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot for this month's RAK. 12 Quotes means 12 chances at ballots!!

Here is today's quote: "Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful." ~Norman Vincent Peale

Challenge #1 ~ Sketch

I had a great sketch to work with this week at LCOM. My friend Beth Sears created a fun, hand drawn sketch. Here it is:

I created a layout of my lovely twin girls, Emmy and DD. I used the newest MME paper kit called Life Stories. What a fabulous kraft kit.

We had an amazing sponsor this month. Tanya at Let's Capture Our Memories gave us each some Zva Creative Gems to work with. I am in love with these. So lovely and girlie. Head on over to the store and see the great collection: LCOM Store. They look and feel like Prima but are much more cost efficient!!

Challenge: Use this months sketch as the foundation for your next layout and email it to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot for this months prize. THEN..... hop on over to the LCOM Sketch Blog and link it there for another chance to win a prize!

Due Date: December 31st

Happy Scrapping!

Wanna Win Copic??

I am sorry that I have been absent for a week. My youngest daughter has been suffering with a bladder infection that sneaked into her kidneys. We have been in and out of the hospital and fighting this nasty thing. She is finally on the mend and the worst seems to be over.

Now we can get back on track!!

The first thing I want to tell you is that weScrap has taken over the CCAS Blog and we are now starting to post on it again. I have a great Limited Edition Christmas Kit up for grabs. All you have to do is leave a comment to win. You have until the 31st of December to comment. How easy is that? Just look at this yummy kit:

The second thing I want to share with you is that I am hosting a Card Tag over at weScrap. We will be basing this tag on a sketch and I have my friend Teresa helping me out. We will be racing against eachother. This is a great way to get another Christmas card done!! Hop on over and sign up to play. You can sign up here: Card Tag Sign Ups.

Do you want some incentive to play??? Everyone on the winning team will win a Copic Marker!! These are fab to use on cards. If you've always wanted to one this is a great way to win one. Hurry because the game starts on Monday. :)

I will be posting another challenge in the morning. Look for it and play along for another great prize.
