Pile It On - It's All In the Wrapping!

It's time for another fabulous challenge at Pile It On and this time we are asking for you concentrate on "wrapping" the gifts instead of making the cards.
We had a fabulous sponsor in Stitchy Bear Stamps that made it super easy to create some fabulous projects for you.

I used a tutorial/pattern from Split Coast Stampers for the boxes and just "winged it" with the gift card holders and I really like how both turned out.
I'm be using some of these for my Christmas wrapping this year and I hope we've all inspired you to "get wrapping" and play along with us at Pile It On.

Guest Designer at The Crafty Pad!

Hi Everyone!
I won a challenge at The Crafty Pad a couple of weeks ago and my prize was to be a Guest Designer this week!
I got to work with this super cute image of Ted and His Sled and the theme was Christmas.
I'm sure we can all still do with more Christmas cards so be sure to get creating and enter your card in the challenge for the chance to be a winner!

Pollycraft had this fabulous sketch
Color Throwdown had the combo of Wild Wasabi, Riding Hood Red, Soft Sky and Pretty in Pink (perfect for Eskimo Kisses by Basic Grey!)
The Pink Elephant wanted to see your "Favorite Christmas Color Combo" and if you've been following my blog this year you'll know that the colors in the Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses collection have been my favorite by far!
The Diva Stamper had a photo inspiration and I took "Let it Snow" as my theme from it.
The Secret Crafter had a Snow theme
Corrosive Challenges had a Winter Wonderland theme
Gingersnaps also had a Winter Wonderland theme
Crazy 4 Challenges had a Snow/Snowflakes theme
Incy Wincy also had a Snow theme




Christmas Ted With Sled is so cute!!!
I used the Eskimo Kisses collection from Basic Grey and I still love it!
The border punch on the pink is the Martha Stewart Deco Fan and I made the snow with Puffy Paint and glitter.



The inside is more dp and a message mat.



This Teddy was so cute to work with and it was a great challenge prize to get to work with team and share my creation.
Have a great Sunday!
Katie
