Make sure you click through the gallery & celebrate all of the joyous holiday cards ... and come back at midnight for another fun holiday card prompt.

Neon Noel

We are loving all of the bright colors that are filling the gallery ... here are two more Merry & Bright cards from us:

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "When I saw this dazzling Gelato Background by the talented Roxie, I knew it would be the perfect technique for my card this week. I used Red, Orange and Yellow Gelatos on Watercolor Paper and blended with a baby wipe.  Once the Gelatos were dry, I stamped Fresh Squeezed Holiday Subway Art in India Ink and clear embossed.  All that was left to do was attach my panel to a white card base using foam tape."

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "Well I don't suppose I need to tell you where I got the idea for this one, do I, lol?! Yepper, that wreath in the inspiration photo was just TOO COOL... or should I say TOO HOT... to resist! After making my own background paper, punching loads of circles from the brightest scraps I could find, and grabbing this week's Fetch-a-Sketch I was all set!"

We've got our sunglasses on ... so show us your best & your brightest holiday creations.

Merry & Bright

This week we're celebrating all things Merry & Bright ... we're asking you to create a card using BRIGHT colors.  Here's a photo for some Merry & Bright inspiration.

So pull out your Neons & Vibrant Hues and show us how BRIGHT you can be.

Here are our BRIGHT creations:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I broke out the Winter Trees and Neon inks and created a a vibrant holiday landscape ... love how the colors pop."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "For some reason, as soon as I heard the word "bright" I started thinking, "FLAMINGO!!!" I'm not really sure how that happened, but I decided to just go with it, lol. :) I used last week's Mojo Monday sketch for my layout and went crazy with as many bright pinks and greens as my scrapbox would yield... which turned out to be quite a few!"

So break out the BRIGHTS and show us some eye-popping colors in your holiday creations.  Link up your cards between now and May 22nd at 6pm (EST) ... keyword for galleries & our flickr group is JB:13:10.
