Some of you listened intently as we put out a request for holiday inspired creations a few weeks ago, and to prove it, today's post is a festive, ooh-la-la display of Peppermint pretties! From snowflake laden layouts, to candycane cards, and handmade gifted goods, you just about covered it all! We simply couldn't be more delighted with what you've made from our minty-fresh collection!
Now, we've a huge favor to ask of you - how about voting for your favorite project from today's & tomorrow's presentation? Of the three projects casted the highest number of votes, each will receive a "Paper Hearts" collection kit! Votes will be tallied Wednesday evening (December 21st), 8:00pm Central Time. We'll then go ahead and post the winning projects on Thursday, along with two more winners randomly chosen from this week's comments/votes. This means that everyone has a chance at winning a Paper Hearts collection kit! We love giving away "gifts" this time of year - it's so much fun!
Puppet Show :: Yohko Takiguchi
Not only did this layout's irrisistably cute theme catch our attention, but so did the neatly displayed writing on the bird sticker! Lots of little tid-bits to look at and be inspired by with this beautiful layout.
Once Upon a Time, I Liked Snow :: Elaine Mcmanus
Snowflakes and banners are a major fave of ours, and it's the first time we've seen our border stickers used this way! Very clever!
Christmas Photo Frame :: Natt Smith
Christmas family photos not only should be cherished from inside an album, but also where everyone can see them! Natt's decorative frame seems the ideal spot for sharing such photos - hopefully, it found a spot near the front entrance!
Day Planner :: Cindy Holshouser
Inside Cindy's Day Planner are two sides, each coveting a special notepad spelling out the words "Merry Christmas" from Peppermint's tiny banner stickers. It's a great carry around item, especially for keeping track of all them gifts!
The Magic of Christmas :: Fleur Smith
There are so many cute borders arranged every which way on this layout that we just had to post it! Just look at the layered scallop borders! We luv them...
Christmas Cards :: Natalia Harandon
We almost thought that Natalia had coated the globe, via the first card, with dimensional adhesive - it'd sure be cute with the falling glittered snowflakes behind it. Actually, both the cards are so sweet and well designed - even the cityscape in the background of the second card is uniquely fun!
More Merry Christmas Cards :: Gini Cagle
The ornate nature of Gini's cards would make receiving one an absolute joy! The wrapped globe with twine is pretty upon the embossed background. Also notice the hand wrapped candies along the bottom of the second card - they match perfectly with the Peppermint Candy Accent Cut!
A Merry Christmas Layout :: Suzanne Tonga
We think the photos are the real prize, here! Cute kids in santa hats with smiles on their faces - what isn't to love about that?! It expresses the excitement and glee that kids feel this time of year...
The Stockings Were Hung :: Tina Walker
The stocking chipboard piece is one of our top "eye-catchers" from the chipboard collection. Tina's made a well-suited home for her's next to her family's stocking collection, alongside a whimsical title!
This complete's today's presentation of "A Very Crate Christmas"! We thank-you for following along and contributing to the event! Don't forget to vote for your favorite project - you might just win a kit, too!
My vote is for More Merry Christmas Cards by Gini Cagle.
