cReative Team Tuesday: Merry Christmas Gift Tag Design Contest!

Here at Rhonna Designs, we believe the season of giving should last all year long...and the cReative Team is all about making the giving as easy—and cReative—as possible. That's why we're kicking off the holidays a little early with a special Rhonna Designs contest!

...Rhonna Designs Merry Christmas Gift Tag Contest

How sweet would it be to adorn your gifting with gift tags designed by YOU and printed by our favorite Persnickety Prints?

Oh, and did we mention a $50 shopping spree on Rhonna Designs?

How fabulous is that?!?

But guess what? We're adding another contest to the mix!

...

...cReative Team member Susan Weckesser

recently launched her Christmas Love Campaign and wants you to help her spread the word—and the love—about this cause. The mission of the Christmas Love Campaign is to

 "create something—anything crafty, cards, sewing, editable art, beads, you name it—and then give it to someone. ANYONE....even a TOTAL STRANGER!"

We love this cause and want you to be a part of it so we've designed the Tags of Love Contest to coincide with the Rhonna Designs Merry Christmas Gift Tag Contest.

Here's how to enter:

Use the gift tag you designed for the Rhonna Designs Merry Christmas Gift Tag Contest and incorporate it into some form of gifting. For example, print your own set of tags and give a set as a gift or attach the tag to a goodie and give the goodie to a friend or neighbor.

*Upload a photo of your gift to the Christmas Love Campaign Facebook wall here: 

Make sure you mention it is for the Tags of Love contest.

*Return to this post and leave a comment with a link to your posted photo. (You can find the URL of your Facebook wall post by clicking on the time stamp of your comment/upload.)

*Let your friends and family know about your entry. The photo with the most "likes" wins!

Use the hashtags #ChristmasLoveCampaign and #tagsoflove when tweeting about your entry.

The winner of the Tags of Love contest will receive a prize pack that includes goodies like:

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products

Westcott titanium-bonded scissor set

I Love to Create tie-dye kit

Susan K. Weckesser stencils, stamps & paper

Side note: This year a portion of the sales of the snowman stamp that Unity Stamp Co. created for the Christmas Love Campaign will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of Susan's dad who passed away suddenly from cancer and everyone else who is affected by cancer.

DIY Christmas...Christmas Cards

I love this time of the year....the whole process of family Christmas cards! I love to do-it-myself with all of the Rhonna Designs options..it's sooo easy!

I couldn't be happier with our family photos this year....so, I wanted to share a few shots! 

all photos my my amazing friend, Amanda Hendrickson.

I'll stop there, so as to not overload you.

I just designed the cards; did them myself (i'll wait to show a sneak peek of my DIY) & it was fast & easy...I uploaded to Persnickety Prints & since they are local...I get to go pick them up at 5:00 today...talk about FAST!  If you are on the lookout for a good printer for your Christmas cards...they deliver all over! So...order! You will NOT be sorry!

AND, if you are local...Amanda is a fab photographer! 

Ok..so, tomorrow..I'll show you a DIY gift I'm making for my kids with these photos...

AND...there's a coupon & giveaway! 

so...stop by tomorrow!

until then....

on your mark. get ready. calendar!

 

Our web show is all about Calendars tonight. huge ones. itty bitty ones. magnetized ones. sticky ones. & everything in between. 

That is one thing I LOVE about House of 3 Printables & digital kits...you can customize & do so many different things with the same kit. over  & over...as many times as you need.

ahhhh. the possibilities!

So, join us HERE or HERE tonight at 8:00 p.m. MST. I'll be going over to Heidi's tonight & we'll be LIVE from her new studio. *but, first I have to run by Persnickety Prints to pick up some FUN calendars they printed for us!

THEY ROCK!  Ok...lots to do before tonight...see you then!

p.s. 

there are new kits up on site, too. New calendars & the REmarkable definitions sheet from last week's show as well as a new REmarkable Icon brush kit that includes the cakes, tags, flags & flowers that I've used here on my blog design.

DIY Christmas No. 3: Christmas Cards

 

One of my favorite parts of the Christmas Season is sending out & receiving Christmas Cards...I love them! I love creating them, I love putting them together & I love getting the mail everyday during December!  I haven't had a lot of time this year to do full out handmade Christmas cards, soo....

a little Persnickety Prints to the rescue along with brushes from House of 3!

yes. very technical cards. LOL.

so...as the DIY Christmas this year, I wanted to add some do-it-yourself bits:

I had Persnickety print mine out on their scrumptious metallic papers....I have a card & then a 'wrap' of photo collages tied with Divine Twine.

see? folding the collage wrap & tying 150 Christmas cards with Divine Twine counts as do-it-yourself...don't you think?

I also added a fun little address wrap I made out of this kit & put them on these kraft envelopes. 

I LOVE the juxtaposition of the metallic papers, bakers twine & kraft envies...mmmmmm...now...off to the mail box to get my Christmas card *fix*. Thanks to everyone sending them our way...it truly makes me merry & bright!

So sorry....but, I'll need to take a rain check...

I've been so sick lately, I am going to have to take a rain check on the 21 Challenge. I'm so sorry! I hope everyone understands. 

  xo

p.s. but, maybe this will make bring the sun out...Persnickety Prints is having their Semi-Annual 25% off Print sale...and...they're giving away some pretty amazing prizes, too! 

ch*ch*check it!

Spark no. 2 Vol. 4...Persnickety Prints

One of the things that just *made* Spark so inspiring was seeing these huge, gorgeous & vibrant signs all over...Spark Quotes for classes & just to inspire!

 (photos by Leslee Keckley, with Jessica modeling....smooches &THANK YOU!)

 We even used them for our hello my name is: name tags.... See how fun & cool they mad the tags?  

I was/am so impressed with Persnickety Prints! A huge thank you to cute Chari & Kenny for doing such a wonderful job on it all! Isn't she darling? We love her!
