The first of our entries is shared by Lynda Benden at Stamp Act.  She chose Gary Robertson's Season's Greetings Outhouse.  She states, "In our family, we like to gather around the Outhouse and sing Christmas carols!! LOLOL!!!."  What a sense of humor you and your family have, Lynda!  Thank your for creating your wonderful card too! :-)

 
Next, with another beautiful card, is Tracey Kuzniak at My World of Cards, Scrapbooking, and Triathlons.  She used Cover-A-Card^TM CC030 Pine, CC032 Medallion, and CC054 Swirls and Stars.  A really beautiful card, Tracey.  You can almost smell the pine and the lace and rickrack are a wonderful touch too!

 
Here is a beautiful card from Olga Jodoin.  She used Cover-A-Card^TM CC030 Pine, and CC027 Flourishes to create the festive and lovely Christmas card below.  The medallion with the punched edge and your choice of paper lace are both wonderful embellishments!

 
This festive and wonderful house card was created by shared by Pamela.  She chose Gary Robertson's Victorian House.  She also decorated the image with Flower Soft and Glossy Accents.  A really beautiful home for Christmas, Pamela!

 
Take a look at the card designed by Deloris Thiede, Stamping At The Lake.  She used a stamp from Sarah Phelps Clear Stamp Set Winter Fun (which is 50% off right now) to create her winter wonderland!  The image can also be purchased in Red Rubber, mounted on wood or cling, as Skating Snowman.  A really bright, pretty, and fun card, Deloris.

Last, but definitely not least are these two very pretty cards shared by Stephanie Lee.  For her first card she used Clear Stamp Set Winter Trees.  What creative work with the embossing powder and the individual stamps, Stephanie.  A beautiful effect!

 
And for her second bright and cheerful card she used Gary Robertson's Noel Doll.  So much fun and really says Christmas too! Thank you for sharing Stephanie!

 
A wonderful and creative group of cards, ladies.  Thank you so much for playing in the challenge and good luck in our drawing for the $25 Gift Certificate.

The rest of you could have a chance at winning the certificate too.  Think about the fun and chance to win free stamps that YOU choose by following the guidelines below: 

• First and Third Thursdays of each month, unless otherwise noted.
• Please use at least ONE Impression Obsession stamp.
• Please provide the name(s) and/or stamp number(s) of IO stamps only with your email to me.  If you have a problem finding this information, sometimes I can help.   If you use stamps from other companies too, please let me know so I am not trying to find one stamp out of the 4000 in the store!  :-0 Yikes!
• Entries will be accepted until the next day, Friday, 9p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
• Email your entry to me using the Email Shirley link provided near the top of the second sidebar to the right.
• All participant cards will be posted here the day of the challenge or when they are entered.
• Cards with all IO Stamps will permanently be added to our IO Customer Album in the very next sidebar over.
• All Participants in the current challenge will be entered in the drawing for the Impression Obsession $25 Gift Certificate. We use Random.org to select the winner.
• It is for use at our ON-LINE STORE. 

 
Don't forget a list of our challenges is on the second sidebar to the right.  If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  So get busy out there!!  Stamp up a card showing your favorite Holiday Family Tradition and send it to me.   There are so many holidays on the way.

Also, it's not too early to book your rooms for the CRUISE!  Some have already booked theirs.  Someone told me the other day, she takes her husband and he does other things when she is doing the classes and then go on the tours together.  When you book, drop me a post below. IO has teamed up with The Paper Cut and Sparkle 'n Sprinkle for the Stampin At Sea Cruise to be held February 14-19, 2011.  I'm thinking this would make a great birthday, anniversary, or Christmas present!!!

Hope your weekend will be great!!  Thanks for stopping by to say hi!
