winter holidays

i'm hosting the next two week challenge at tag tuesday and i've chosen "winter holidays." my research has revealed SEVERAL winter holidays to choose from! i found: christmas, hanukkah, kwanzaa, solstice, los posadas, diwali, boxing day, three kings/epiphany, eid-ul-adha, and new year! this should give you plenty of inspiration for making your tags. which holidays will you choose? 

for my inspiration samples i'm starting with 2 digital tags for winter solstice (december 21), then collaged tags for hanukkah which begins on december 25 this year, christmas which is also december 25, and 2 tags for kwanzaa which begins on december 26 and runs through the 31st. if i get another burst of energy i might do some more winter holiday tags!

 

whatever holidays you choose, we look forward to seeing what you create!

i'm also linking my santa tag to the latest gecko galz challenge: yuletide dreams. the santa and background are both from gecko galz.

love to all.

anything goes continues at the cheerful stamp pad; celebrating kwanzaa

it is week two of the "anything goes" challenge at the cheerful stamp pad so make whatever you like and link to our challenge.  the only requirement is that it be something new or not previously posted.  a randomly selected winner will get a prize from our challenge sponsor bugaboo stamps.
i also wanted to link up to the latest challenge at rogue redhead designs which is to make anything pertaining to a winter holiday.  so my creation celebrates kwanzaa.

my featured stamp is from the rubbernecker stamp co and i enhanced it a bit with colored pencils.  the background paper is from twisted papers.  kwanzaa is a holiday which falls after christmas and which celebrates african american heritage and culture.  look here to learn more.

happy day and happy week!  love to all.
