Story Stars

So many wonderful holiday memories that inspired your cards this fortnight, and we loved hearing every single one of them. Here are a few cards that we especially loved:

Jenni of Wish I Was Scrappin'

...perfectly captured one of our favorite scenes from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" with her tiny tree and the verse from Saint Luke that Linus quotes... we can almost hear his voice!

(ps: Jenni did a cool take on the film "Elf" as well!) 

Patrice aka aph664 on Instagram

...combined a beautiful Bayou background, olympic-level fussy-cutting, and a verse from "The Cajun Night Before Christmas" in which Santa's sleigh is pulled by alligators; making that book an instant holiday wishlist necessity!!! 

Amy Marshall aka Kalla Walla on SCS

...was inspired by "Frosty the Snowman" to create her super cool... not to mention perfectly colored and composed... holiday card!

A Storied Holiday

We're still making holiday cards inspired by our favorite holiday books, tv shows and films, and you're invited to join the fun! Here's what we made this week:

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "My family read Clement C, Moore's, "The Night Before Christmas" together every Christmas Eve of my childhood. So perhaps it's not surprising that since then I've collected several dozen copies of the poem. For this card I scanned and reduced a page from one of my favorite vintage editions and paired it with North Pole inspired papers from Pebbles and Elle's Studio. There's an Eyelet Outlet Holly Brad on there, but the illustration is so lovely I didn't want to add too much embellishment."

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "This week's card is another Christmas movie classic that I will confess I had never watched until a few years ago.  Stamps are from Leg Lamp by The Ink Road."

A Christmas Story

This fortnight we're asking you to create a card inspired by one of the many holiday books or movies that we all adored in childhood... and likely still adore them today. So whether you love “Frosty the Snowman”, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” or “It's a Wonderful Life” we're asking you to create a card inspired by your favorite holiday book or movie.

Here is how we were inspired:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie say, "So many possibilities, but this week I went with the classic Chevy Chase line from Christmas Vacation. The stamp is from Are you serious Clark? by The Ink Pad.  All I added was a white glittery Peel-off from Love from Lizi keeping it CAS for the Less is More Christmas in July Challenge."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I'm a big fan of “A Christmas Carol” (I revisit both the original novella and several film adaptations most Decembers) so I was pretty excited to have found this ancient Graphic 45 tag to use as the centerpiece of my card. The background collage consists of vintage sheet music, a page from an old garage sale holiday story anthology, and some cancelled xmas postage; plus a scrap of plaid ribbon from my stash."
