StampTV CSS Challenge Hop

Welcome to our first Center Stage Spotlight Design Team Blog Hop! Jessica Fick, the Design Team Coordinator for GinaK Designs has issued a challenge to all of the past and present team CSS team members to make a Christmas card with one of these sketches:

There is an ADDED BONUS from me: I have an extra copy of Melanie's adorable Hip To Be Square set. I will pick a random commenter from one of the blogs below and I'm not telling you which one :-). So, leave some love to all the participants. If I don't hear from the winner within 24 hours, I will draw another winner. The contest is open until Friday at midnight, CST and I will announce the winner on Saturday morning. Happy Hopping!

Here are my cards:

Tip: Color parts of the patterned papers with markers to match your stamped image, just as I did with the top red panel with the holly leaves and dots.

Stamps: Holiday Cheer from the StampTV kit, Warm Winter Wishes
Paper: Fresh Asparagus, Jolly by Golly by Cosmo Cricket
Ink: Really Red, Memento Tux Black, Copics
Others: button from the Autumn Assortment, ribbon by Wrights, sewing machine, Spellbinders circle dies

Stamps: Vintage Borders, Holiday Cheer from the StampTV kit, Festive Frames (Joy sentiment)
Papers: Soft Sand, Cranberry Tart, All Spruced Up
Ink: Memento Rhubarb inkpad, Cottage Ivy and Rhubarb markers, White pigment ink
Other: button from the Holiday Assortment, pearls, ribbon by Offray, Spellbinders Labels 1 and Labels 4
