Can you believe it's November already?
Time to really start focusing on those holiday cards!
To get you in a festive holiday creating mood the
Design Team is having a blast making cards
using Christmas Carols as their inspiration.
Beginning Monday and all this week we invite you to stop in and
guess the Christmas Carol that inspired our DT that day. Give us your best guess in the comment section and the correct answers for each day will go into a drawing
for some amazing Holiday stamps!
How fun is that?!
And.....to amp up your Mojo even more our November monthly challenge
is "Holidays". From Thanksgiving to New Year's and everything in between...
we want to see your cards celebrating the season!
The Great Impressions Stamps Design Team
has come up with a delightful array of holiday
fun to jump start your Mojo!
Let's check it out!

My favorite part of your card is the polka dot heart....very whimsical!"
Angi's choice:
Tracy
"Congrats, Tracy! You're my favorite - I love your Fall card!
The colors are just right and the details...the little notches on top,
the leaves with the chalk, the texture of the fabric, the tiny peeking
sentiment and of course those adorable little acorns! I
appreciate the time and thought that must have gone into your yummy piece
of eye candy!"
Jenny's choice:
Darlene
"Wowzers Darlene! Could you please come tie all my bows? (lol!)
Your card is perfection! The colors are gorgeous and I love how your sentiment

Jenny,
I'm so happy to have found this site. While I don't have an abundance of your stamps I think I'm going too. I first want to say thanks for the DT inspiration and Happy Holidays to everyone there.
My creation for this months challenge uses E658S and J96S. I hope you like it.
This adorable Great Impressions turkey is one fashionable gobbler, don't you think? Once again, your designers did a great job on all their cards! I especially like Shanna's sparkly trees.
Great inspiration artwork.
I have just found this blog and love the images and DT creations. It won't be long now until Christmas, so Happy Holidays to all of you!
Hoping to link up my Happy Holidays creations soon!
#Thanks for the challenge & the fab DT Inspiration!
Hugs
