"Winter Wonderland"

Good Afternoon Everyone! Are you all ready for the holidays? I am as ready as I am gonna be! LOL! Things have been so hectic here for me and Michael that we have no decorating done, we did get some baking in (Hee-Hee), and we have decided to just stay home, enjoy each others company for the holidays. We always have next year for decorating and stressing figuring out how to get everything done! What do you think, does that sound like an awesome plan or what?

Anyways, today I wanted to share with you the NEW challenge at Paper Creations Ink! The theme is "Something Old / Something New". Since this is our LAST challenge for 2011, we thought it should be an easy one! It is all in how you interpreted it... you could go traditional and create an Anniversary or Wedding Project, or Look at it as a reflection of the passing year, and a fresh beginning to set new goals for the upcoming year, or maybe even... drag out those old tools, notes of old techniques and then incorporate them into a new project! As we said... so many possibilities! Paper Creations Ink is being sponsored by Floppy Latte Designs, Jessica Owner/Artist is so graciously giving a $10.00 gift certificate to the lucky winner that Mr. Random decides on! So get your thinking caps on, come on over and join us we would LOVE to have you!!!
