Dec 28 Die Cut Challenge .. I Deer-ly Love Christmas

Happy Friday, everyone and welcome back to Stuck on U Sketches! We are so glad that you found your way here! The last challenge for 2012 (can you believe it is nearly over???) is our Die Cut challenge and the "theme" this time is "deer."

 Taking that a bit further, we are calling it "I deer-ly love Christmas." It can be any deer die cut, reindeer, regular deer or any die cuts that you can combine to create a deer. You MUST use a Die Cut die, tool or machine to create your image. Stamped images are not acceptable for this challenge and will not be considered for Top 3. You may do a card, layout ATC or altered item but you must include your deer die cut.

Okay, now that the requirements are out of the  way, we'd like to share what our DT has done this time around. They have been ultra-creative!

We do not have any Top 3 winners this time as our only player was Holly H who is now on our DT.  But here is her gorgeous card for your inspiration. Thanks a million,  Holly! 

Okay, we know this is a very busy time of year and only a few days before Christmas but we hope that some of you will take time to play along! You will have 2 weeks to create and upload your project! 

Happy Crafting! 

Dec 14th Die Cut Challenge and new DT members

Wheeeee  ... mid-December already? Really? This is such a wonderful but busy time of the year and it goes by so very fast! For that matter, 2012 was really short to me! It doesn't seem that long ago that I was writing my December posts for last year.  Seriously! But anyway, the DT and co-leaders of SOUS do want to extend our  holiday greetings to all of you. May this be a wonderful season of merriment, contemplation and gratitude for all that we have in our lives. For those of you who may be lonely or grieving, please know that we are thinking of you most of all. May God hold you ever so tightly! 

Okay, on with the show! This week is our Die Cut challenge. For this one, you must use a DIE CUT tool or DIE CUT machine to create your project. Specifically, we are looking for DIE CUT "toys" this time. No stamps, please. You will have 2 weeks to create your projects and upload them using the linking tool! We know you are busy, so even a quick card or tag will do! 

Now before we show you what the DT has created, we wanted to introduce you to 2 new Die Cut team members, Sylvie and Holly. Here is a little bit about them in their own words. Welcome, ladies! 

"My name is Sylvie and I live in beautiful Canal Flats, BC. I have been married to my husband, Brian for almost 24 years and have two teenagers, Julia (16) and Nicholas (15). I work as a part-time administrative assistant at the local municipal office, I'm a part-time taxi service carting around kids to hockey practice and games and I love to do paper crafts when I can have a minute to myself. I've done many crafts over the years, but nothing has kept my interest like scrapbooking. I've been scrapbooking since 1998, just after we adopted our kids from Kazakhstan. I'm just as addicted now as I was then! What drew me to scrapbooking was the story telling, so I do lots of journaling. And while I prefer scrapping, I also love to do cards and altered art. I am so excited to be a part of this team and can't wait to get to know everyone."

"I'm m a housewife residing in the mountains of North Carolina. I have a wonderful husband who raises cattle and owns his own Grading business.  I have a daughter who is in college and the absolute apple of my eye.  I love to sew, cook, read and scrap.   I have been scrapping for 8 years now and loves creating my own embellishments for my pages using the tools I have collected over the years. I feel as though I am cheating when I use store bought embellies.   I look at this hobby as my conversations with future generations of my family, that I otherwise could never have. Many many thanks for this honor. Best regards and hugs, Holly Hudspeth"

Now, it's time to show you what the DT has done with this week's challenge!
