Too bad DT member's Flo Teixeira and Linda Duke couldn't join in the challenge today but if you missed Flo's Christmas Album HERE you can see it on the link here.

Also, look at this beautiful card DT member Linda Duke created with our new Angel Blessings (now a $9.95 Digital Art Stamp Set! You can see more close up pics and info HERE on Linda's blog.

If your looking for a unique way to package a gift card, look at this beautiful one that DT member Michele Kovack created. You could modify the design if you don't own a Imagine machine (from Provocraft) but the image (from our Birds and Blossoms Scraps with the beads looks fantastic! Details HERE on Michele's blog.

Look at this adorable mini Christmas layout DT member Julie Campbell created of her uncle when he was little. I love that she has his real letter to Santa from the 1900's and made a copy of his signature for him to hold in the photo below. She used our Altered Fairy Scraps and the mini postcard is from our Christmas Scraps sheet.  You can read the story and see more details HERE on Julies blog.

Look at this pretty layout DT member Mary Hamer created also using different pieces from our Christmas Creative Scraps. I love how she used an envelope to hold journaling that tucks in a stitched pocket. You can see more details HERE on Mary's blog.

Here is a free Santa printable GIFT for you!  It originally said A Happy Holiday Menu but I erased Menu so you could use it for a quick card as well. Just left click on the image with your mouse until it gets big as possible and right click it to save it to a picture file. Please note: Our Free Printables are for personal use only.

 I also have another fun printable for you. This is an old rebus style game someone sent me over 10 years ago where you have to guess the Christmas Carols in each of the pictures. It's in rough shape but fun to play if you print a few and divide into groups and see who can finish first. Just left click on the image with your mouse (a couple of times) until it gets big and right click it to save it to a picture file. You can share this file as long as you give us credit.

UPDATE: I came back and added the answer sheet here to make it easier.

Look at these fabulous cards featured on our free postcard by DT Member Lisa Zappa, Pam Hotten and Vicki Chrisman created using the Farm Chicks stamp set! 

 Here's some Stamping Tips and Tricks that will your cards looking great and check out the cute tags which were simply stamped in black ink and and embellished.

This second giveaway will be for both the Farm Chicks Set plus our Down on the Farm stamp set!  When our Clear Art Stamp Sets sell out they are being turned into Digital Art Stamp Sets - which are larger, re-sizeable, less money and no shipping!

 Here's a card by Linda Duke using the cow from the Down on the Farm Stamps

 Lastly, here's a cute card by Darlene Pavlick using the free printable image I posted last month.
