Jingle Belles Challenge Winner & Faves

Thank you so much for making our Second Chance Challenge with Jingle Belles a HUGE success!

For a sketch site that focuses mostly on page layouts, you all came out en masse to make holiday cards in February ... and that is AMAZING!

We had 55 players, and the random winner is Nancy, who was #16.

Congrats, Nancy!! Send an e-mail with your address to dianadesigns [at] rochester.rr.com, and I'll ship off your holiday goodie bag to you.

Second Chance Challenge - Jingle Belles

It's been a little while since we did one of these, but we're here today with a Second Chance Challenge for you. Occasionally we find wonderful partnerships in the scrapbooking community and team together to give you an opportunity to check out what might be a new site to you, and also give you a chance to play for two prizes with one entry.

Pretty cool, huh?!


This time we are partnering with Jingle Belles, a card challenge site that is focused on helping you take back December one card at a time. The idea is that you can make one card a week for the duration of the year and would essentially have your holiday cards done and ready to go.


Here is the sketch sponsored by Sketchy Thursdays. Make a holiday card using this sketch and link it up to both the comments section of this post and the Jingle Belles site for a double chance to win. We'll each choose a winner!

The Sketchy Thursdays winner will get this holiday elements kit courtesy of ST. Oh, all the cards you can make with this!

Here are the cards the DT made to get you excited about this challenge.

Diana

Heidi

Tomomi

Tessa

Julie

Jeanet

Heather

We hope to see you playing along! You have until 10 p.m. (EST) on 2/24 to link up in the comments section of this post and over at the Jingle Belles site. The winners will be announced on 2/25.

Good luck ... and have fun!!!
