Challenge #291

Welcome to our pre-holiday month.  We wanted to help you get ready for the holiday season which is ahead of us so we are devoting all of October to "everything  for the holidays".  There will be contests, recipes, hints, and of course, lots of cards to get everyone in the mood to create their Christmas cards.

I do not really have any holiday photos so perhaps something wintry will have to do.

Snow on a feeder - just to get us in the mood.

On to our top cards for challenge #289.  Before I show you, I once again want to remind you that when you link your card, make sure it is to your blog or wherever you post your cards.  There is an adorable card which was linked back to our blog so I have no way of including it in our top three.   
Here are the top three:

Very nice, ladies!  Congratulations and thanks to all who played along.

Our challenge this week, as I mentioned, begins our get-ready-for-the-holidays month.  The sketch is courtesy of Kaylin and the optional technique is weaving .  

And here are the samples from our team:

I am pretty sure these examples should put you in a holiday mood and I cannot wait to see what you come up with.  Remember, our contest runs for two weeks and you can enter below (using the linky) or on our Facebook page.  Happy creating, all!

P.S.  check back on Friday for a little something special.
