Feasting Faves

We can never say no holiday treats... whether they're proffered on a plate, or on a lovely holiday card! Here are a few we found especially irresistible:

Christine Dring of Chrispy's Creations

Miss Chris totally *ROCKED* the genre of shaker card, accruing beaucoup bonus points for having tiny candy cane gems inside the shaker!!!

C.G. of C.G. Says (Something Loudly)

How fun is this amazingly textural gingerbread man sweater?! Also, you HAVE TO click through and see the amazing concertina fold of this card... off the charts of cool... ♥ 

Helen of Helen's Craft Haven

On the other hand, there's something to be said for the perfection of a minimalist CAS design, and this card says it most eloquently! (and thus we forgive Helen for making us want a cupcake right now!!!) :) :) :)

Many thanks to everyone who played along, we never get tired of seeing your ♥AMAZING♥ creations. We'll be back at midnight with a brand new prompt that we hope will deliver you more than a scrap of inspiration!

Candy Kisses

We're still celebrating the foods & drinks of the holidays at Jingle Belles this week.  What delicious paper creation will you make?

Here are our second cards:

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "I love collecting vintage Ideals Magazines because they remind me of my Gran ... she always had the seasonal ones on the coffee table, and I would spend hours looking at the pictures and reading the poems.  This poem reminds me of my Grandma who always let me bake & decorate Christmas Cookies with her.  I scanned a page from a vintage ideals holiday magazine & shrunk it to fit my card base.  I added some holly leaves & berries as an accent."

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "I have a shocking true holiday confession this week: I don't actually enjoy *eating* Christmas pudding... but there are sooooooo many cute images out there that I can never resist! :) This one is an Echo Park sticker from a couple of years ago that I was unconsciously hoarding, lol; I've paired it with an Elle's Studio journal card and half a doily that was just fortuitously hanging out in my "offcuts" envelope. I've used the very fab current Retro Sketch (#189) to guide my layout."

Remember you have until 6pm EST on Wednesday November 18th to link-up your foody creation!

Bring Us Some Figgy Pudding

This fortnight we're making cards that celebrate holiday foods & drinks: Gingerbread and candy canes... Christmas cookies and cocoa... Sugar plums and figgy pudding... maybe even Who-hash and Roast Beast for you Dr. Seuss fans? Whatever your favorites, we can't wait to see them! Meanwhile, here's what we made this week:

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I built the layout of my card around the awesome Crooked Stamper Sketch Challenge #10 (because, no, Stephanie and I never confer beforehand!!!) and the theme around that super-cute Pebbles' popcorn and cranberry garland sticker. The latter is a fond memory from my childhood, I remember stringing popcorn and cranberries for our tree. I also remember that it took ages to complete; because we kids (and my dad!) would eat most of the popcorn before it could become garland, lol!"

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I featured two foods that I only consume around the holidays ... peppermint sticks and gingerbread men.  I remember having such fun cutting out & decorating the gingerbread cookies with my Grandma.  I added a fun sentiment from Kelly Purkey (where --of course-- I used pearls to choose all three options) and used a great sketch from The Crooked Stamper (hey, it is so good we both used it)."

We can't wait to see how you will feature your favorite Christmas foods & drinks... (and maybe some of your favorite Christmas memories, as well?) ...this fortnight. Link up here before 6pm (EST) on Wednesday, November 18th. Keyword for galleries and Flickr is JB:15:23.
