Winner will be announced on Monday October 5th. You also have until Sunday night (winner will be announced on Monday the 5th) to play along with our LPSC35 sketch challenge from Monday. Winner of that challenge will receive a {Katie Caroler} stamp set!

Oh! Last thing then onto the card! Also for today, we have another challege, and LISTEN UP FOR THIS ONE!!! You will have until Sunday October 11th to play along with us , and you'll want to get your stampin' clothes out because the winner of LPSC36 will receive ALL FOUR NEW RELEASE SETS!!! Woo hoo!! That is an awesome prize from the ever-generous Julia of {Little Paper Shop}! What is the LPSC36 challenge? Easy! Use non-traditional Christmas colors. Here is mine, featuring the new {Merry & Bright} set:

I decided to make a 4.25" square card today, just to be different. As you can see I used PTI's Aqua Mist and some Ruby Red from SU, paired with the fabulous new Eskimo Kisses line from Basic Grey. Perfect for that non-traditional Christmas! ;-) My image is stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa ink on PTI white. The Curved Rectangle Nestabilities worked great with this to showcase the simple & elegant sentiment. I cut three of them and layered to get the look I wanted for mats. I used Labels 4 and a Cuttlebug folder on the Ruby Red panel in the background. Clouds, ribbon, dimensionals and buttons and it's ready to go!
