Welcome to our Holiday Special challenge (#12)


We are so excited about this challenge!
We’ve landed some of the most talented designers for our team
 and we have asked them to showcase the winning stamps
from Digital-Ink Co. for our Holiday Special.
We would also like to welcome “Cosmo Cricket”,
our very first sponsor.
They have provided a wonderful blog candy package
that will go to the 1st place winner.
With that said, let’s get started with this challenge!!


In this challenge you will need to
 create any paper craft (using at least one Digital-Ink Co. stamp)
and use a line or them of any Christmas song!


A few of the girls at DICo are already in the giving spirit
and have provided some free stamps for you to use,
or you can take advantage of their 50% off sale
and grab a stamp from their store.
Sale starts 12/01 and will run all month long!!!

We thank you for joining our challenge
 and we wish all of you the best of luck!

Please welcome:

Kim
Hi there, I'm Kim Sparks. I'm a third grade teacher, Christian, Auntie
(Nee Nee) to six amazing nieces and nephews, and wife to my very
supportive hubby! I love scrap booking and making cards. Working with
digital images is one way I love to create. I hope you'll enjoy
playing along with our challenges at Digital Ink Co.



Kym
I live in WI and have been married for 6 years to my wonderful prince, have 5 children and 13 beautiful grandchildren ages 1 month to 9 years old. I have been making cards or pieces of art as I call them, for a few years off and on now. I have made wedding invitations for 3 weddings and birth announcements for numerous babies births. I like all kinds of stamps and enjoy making cards for all different occasions. I have had my hands on some sort of craft as far back as I can remember. I can thank my Mom for that. I am now moving forward with this art form I love seriously and taken it to the next level.


Georgia
In 2001, after 28 years in the teaching profession, I traded chalk dust for taking it easy. Well, that didn’t happen. I started a new career in the retail industry to support my love of paper crafts and travel. Even though I work full time, I manage to create with paper daily and squeeze in some time for travel. My paper trail started about a year and half ago. I’ve been married to the same man for 30 years. We have two adult children. They are married and live in other states. Hence, the travel!! We have one grandson (18 months) and a second one on the way!! Should you visit my blog, you’ll find a hodgepodge of my interests. Hope you stop by and visit!

Harriet
I am Harriet and I live in East Tennessee... I have been stamping for a little over a year and am loving every minute I spend in my craft room and on my computer with my friends....As we say in hillbilly country, "I am probably the oldest rat in this barn"...I just recently turned 62 and retired, so I have a lot more time that I can spend doing the things I enjoy the most....



Mary
"I am Christian wife to my best friend and a mother to our 2 amazing kids, ages 11 & 6. We live in Maine where I am a stay at home mom (and love it!). I have been crafting in some way for as long as I can remember. But my love for paper crafting began 12 years ago. I just recently started blogging and I have been blessed with so many new friends during this wonderful journey. I just recently became part of the DT for Digital-Ink Co."


Raquel
Hi, my name is Raquel. I currently live in Sacramento, California and am attending California State University, Sacramento in pursuit of my Nursing Degree as well as a Bachelors Degree in Public Health with a concentration in Community Education. I am originally from Tracy, California where my family owns a small dairy farm business where I help out when I am at home visiting. When I am not reading a textbook or studying for an exam I enjoy stamping and scrapping. I have been stamping since 2007 and scrap booking since 2005. I often find myself reaching for my stamps when I know there are other things I should be doing but a lot of the time my stamping is a type of therapy and a stress reliever. I love stamping and I love sharing my creations with others and I hope I can inspire others through my work as much as many others inspire me. Feel free to visit my blog and leave me a quick note, I love hearing from those who stop by to visit and I love being able to visit them in return.



Sam
"My name is Sam - full name Samantha - I'm a 37 year old wife and mum and I love nothing better than to play all day but the housework does tend to get in the way. I've only been blogging for a few months but I love all the different challenges and looking at all the uber talented peoples blogs out there. I'll have a go at most things crafty - money permitting that is - and I have a wish list as long as....well whatever you can find online - I want it !! lol
I'm a bit of a joker and I'm always creasing the girls up on the forums - you have been warned hehehe"



Sarabeth
My name is Sarabeth Burke and I am the DT Coordinator for DICO. I am 28 years old and married to my best friend.  My addiction is Scrap booking, Stamping and Card Making!!!!!  I am from Long Island, New York and when I am not crafting I love to read, go running and spend time with my family and friends.. I often I believe that through this craft we are able to capture and cherish memories forever through a visual story. I find it very therapeutic and rewarding as well. I also believe that this community has brought me the most wonderful friendships ever and I am so grateful!

Sarah
My name is Sarah, I live in Iowa and love that. I am an upholster by day but really love my night job - crafting! ;o) Thanks for joining us and I can't wait to see everyone’s wonderful creations.



Terri
I began stamping in 2004. After being a demo for 2 different companies, I decided I wanted to work with different styles of stamps. Doing the challenges from blogs like DIC has really improved my creativity. I am finally thinking out of the box. My husband and I have two grown daughters, a wonderful son-in-law and a beautiful granddaughter. I work full time as a Library Assistant in the Children's Department of our local public library.
