It's  the 3rd Monday of the month.  Time for the 2nd Incy Wincy Designs challenge for the month of November. This time around the challenge is "Use a non-traditional image to create a Christmas creation" and it is sponsored by

I chose the "Cinnamon Swirl" digital image for my project. I put a Christmas spin on it by using Christmas colors.

DP-Martha Stewart Crafts 

Base card stock-Nenah Astrobrights Red Pepper

Ribbon-Darice Ohhh so trendy 5/8" red/white Christmas stripe

I popped up the image circle panel and the foam topping on homemade red foam squares.  I added a smaller image on the inside.  I made my card to be a gift card holder.

Now it's your turn to create something for the challenge.Try making a Christmas themed card using something not usually Christmasy.

To all my friends in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving this Thursday.

The Librarian

What is the best name for a Librarian? (answer at bottom of post)

One of this week's sponsors at  {Pin}spirational Challenges (#81) is Sassy Studio Designs.  As a SSD DT member I played along.  Here is the challenge picture for this week.

A lot of things came to mind when I saw the pic.  But the main theme for me was Books and Adventure.  So that's what I based my card on.
